smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions

upstream-diff |
  File path: upstream uses fs/smb/client/cifs_spnego.c, this branch
  uses fs/cifs/cifs_spnego.c. Code is identical.

cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as
pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as
kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of
this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to
be supplied without CIFS origin.

Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private
spnego_cred to request the key.

Fixes: f1d662a ("[CIFS] Add upcall files for cifs to use spnego/kerberos")
