Jeff Layton a0c31ec1c8 mount.cifs: don't allow it to be run as setuid root program
mount.cifs has been the subject of several "security" fire drills due to
distributions installing it as a setuid root program. This program has
not been properly audited for security and the Samba team highly
recommends that it not be installed as a setuid root program at this
time.

To make that abundantly clear, this patch forcibly disables the ability
for mount.cifs to run as a setuid root program. People are welcome to
trivially patch this out, but they do so at their own peril.

A security audit and redesign of this program is in progress and we hope
that we'll be able to remove this in the near future.
