3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steve French <smfrench@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0603c96f3af50e2f9299fa410c224ab1d465e0f9 upstream.
As long as signing is supported (ie not a guest user connection) and
connection is SMB3 or SMB3.02, then validate negotiate (protect
against man in the middle downgrade attacks). We had been doing this
only when signing was required, not when signing was just enabled,
but this more closely matches recommended SMB3 behavior and is
better security. Suggested by Metze.
