Customer reported randomly failed krb5 authentications against certain
servers when using --trust-dns parameter.  Turned out that the client
failed to establish sessions against those servers when using
CIFS/KRB5_NT_SRV_HST service principals.

Restore old behavior of always trying cifs/KRB5_NT_UNKNOWN service
principal first when using --trust-dns parameter.

Fixes: 562a6cb4f99c ("cifs.upcall: Retry krb5 TGS request with uppercase service name")
