We had discussed simply throwing away all of CIFSSesSetup and
a good chunk of now unneeded code in cifs_setup_session, and
only salvaging/porting/rewriting the two NTLMSSP functions.

Do we want to port anything out of CIFSSesSetup?  It
was just the old NTLM code, which can be thrown away not that
the fs/cifs/sess.c code is stable.  Is there any unique function in
that that is not in fs/cifs/sess.c already?
