fs/cifs/connect.c fix missing in latest stable

[Chris Frey]

Hi Chris,

The latest stable release 2.6.29.2 appears to be missing Jeff Layton's
fix in commit f083def68f84b04fe3f97312498911afce79609e (in Linus's tree).

I'm not the expert... I just noticed that this was mentioned on
full-disclosure: http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=123936563230145&w=2
(near the end of Andreas's post)

Thanks,
- Chris

Yes, we are but they're pretty close. Some have already gone in and
some are still outstanding. Suresh J. has done the bulk of the work,
but there are a few additional fixes for other areas too.

I've been traveling for the last week, and took today off. My plan is
to get with Steve French tomorrow and finalize a set of fixes for his
tree that he can push to mainline and stable.

I think Suresh has been out too.  I am only waiting to get some
minor clarifications before I ack the fixes from Suresh.
