As "man mount.cifs" says:

NOTES
        This command may be used only by root, unless installed
        setuid, in which case the noeexec and nosuid mount flags
        are enabled.

It is not installed setuid in Fedora so you'll have to change the 
permissions of /sbin/mount.cifs to 4755 to use it as a non-root user.
