cifs: replace /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental with a module parm

This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.

Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.

Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

signing turned on in case buffer was modified

be used to use the new experimental directory change

an additional experimental feature, "raw ntlmssp"
session establishment support (which allows
specifying "sec=ntlmssp" on mount). The Linux cifs
module will use ntlmv2 authentication encapsulated
in "raw ntlmssp" (not using SPNEGO) when
"sec=ntlmssp" is specified on mount.
This support also requires building cifs with
the CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL configuration flag.
