Pali Rohár 665e187948 cifs: Improve handling of NetBIOS packets
Now all NetBIOS session logic is handled in ip_rfc1001_connect() function,
so cleanup is_smb_response() function which contains generic handling of
incoming SMB packets. Note that function is_smb_response() is not used
directly or indirectly (e.g. over cifs_demultiplex_thread() by
ip_rfc1001_connect() function.

Except the Negative Session Response and the Session Keep Alive packet, the
cifs_demultiplex_thread() should not receive any NetBIOS session packets.
And Session Keep Alive packet may be received only when the NetBIOS session
was established by ip_rfc1001_connect() function. So treat any such packet
as error and schedule reconnect.

Negative Session Response packet is returned from Windows SMB server (from
Windows 98 and also from Windows Server 2022) if client sent over port 139
SMB negotiate request without previously establishing a NetBIOS session.
The common scenario is that Negative Session Response packet is returned
for the SMB negotiate packet, which is the first one which SMB client
sends (if it is not establishing a NetBIOS session).

Note that server port 139 may be forwarded and mapped between virtual
machines to different number. And Linux SMB client do not call function
ip_rfc1001_connect() when prot is not 139. So nowadays when using port
mapping or port forwarding between VMs, it is not so uncommon to see this
error.

Currently the logic on Negative Session Response packet changes server port
to 445 and force reconnection. But this logic does not work when using
non-standard port numbers and also does not help if the server on specified
port is requiring establishing a NetBIOS session.

Fix this Negative Session Response logic and instead of changing server
port (on which server does not have to listen), force reconnection with
establishing a NetBIOS session.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
