Subject[patch 16/88] CIFS: Fix memory overwrite when saving nativeFileSystem field during mount
2.6.28-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

upstream commit: b363b3304bcf68c4541683b2eff70b29f0446a5b

CIFS can allocate a few bytes to little for the nativeFileSystem field
during tree connect response processing during mount. This can result
in a "Redzone overwritten" message to be logged.
