Long ago (in commit 00e485b0), I added some code to handle share-level passwords in CIFSTCon. That code ignored the fact that it's legit to pass in a NULL tcon pointer when connecting to the IPC$ share on the server. This wasn't really a problem until recently as we only called CIFSTCon this way when the server returned -EREMOTE. With the introduction of commit c1508ca2 however, it gets called this way on every mount, causing an oops when share-level security is in effect. Fix this by simply treating a NULL tcon pointer as if user-level security were in effect. I'm not aware of any servers that protect the IPC$ share with a specific password anyway. Also, add a comment to the top of CIFSTCon to ensure that we don't make the same mistake again.
