We've had a request recently to allow cifs.upcall to use AD-style
service principals. While trying to nail down what they need, I asked
Simo his opinion on how best to pick a service principal for a given
hostname. His suggestion was:

        INPUT: fooo
        TRY in order:
                FOOO$@REALM
                cifs/fooo.<guessed domain ?>@REALM
                host/fooo.<guessed domain ?>@REALM

        INPUT: bar.example.com
        TRY in order:
                cifs/bar.example.com@REALM
                BAR$@REALM
                host/bar.example.com@REALM

This patchset attempts to embody that logic.

Suggestions welcome. Those reviewing it, please pay particular attention
to the scheme for guessing a domain name. I want to make certain that
we're not opening up any security holes with that scheme.

  cifs.upcall: move to an on-stack princ buffer
  cifs.upcall: move to Simo's suggested algorithm for picking a
    principal
  cifs.upcall: try and guess the domain name on unqualified names
