Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: Fix match_session bug preventing session reuse

Fix a bug in match_session() that can causes the session to not be
reused in some cases.

Reproduction steps:

mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/a -o credentials=creds
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/b -o credentials=creds,sec=ntlmssp
cat /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData | grep SessionId | wc -l

mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/b -o credentials=creds,sec=ntlmssp
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/a -o credentials=creds
