Request share notifications only if asymmetric capability is set.
Never request IP change notifications, handling is not implemented.

Prepare to remove the tcon pointer from cifs_swn_reg struct.
Always use the address stored in the swnreg to send the register netlink
message.
To find the swnreg matching a tcon the stored address is compared to the
tcon dstaddr.

Store the names and add them to the netlink messages only if required.
The network name notification is always enabled. The share name
notification is only enabled for asymmetric shares.

matching the current one, skip unregister and register to the same
address.

@Samuel just a small observation in this patch (14/18):
It's better practice to use kfree_sensitive() when freeing
passwords (swnreg->authinfo.ntlm.password).
IMHO this can be done in a follow up patch instead of a v2.
