[PATCH 0/2] cifs: fix a couple of mount time problems

We've had a number of panics reported by people using cifs mounts on
F15. See the following reported bugs:

    727927
    731278
    732934

I'd like to see both of the following patches added to 2.6.40.3
and above until they make it into the stable series. The second
may also be appropriate for F16, but it may be simpler to just
wait for the stable series to catch up there.

The patches are pretty straightforward fixes, let me know if
anything with them isn't clear.
