Windows machine has extended security feature which refuse to allow
authentication when there is time difference between server time and
client time when ntlmv2 negotiation is used. This problem is prevalent
in embedded enviornment where system time is set to default 1970.
We don't know yet the exact threshold for the time difference at which
the connection is refused but one comment in cifs code suggest that it
is around 5 minutes.
This patch tries to solve this problem by sending the received server
time during negotiate process as the current client time.
