We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved
is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious
bytes in the future.
One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is
currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands
for some core families.
To make sure that new families do the right thing by default
put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

The only usage of cifs_genl_ops[] is to assign its address to the ops
field in the genl_family struct, which is a pointer to const. Make it
const to allow the compiler to put it in read-only memory.

+ The register and unregister commands are sent when connecting or
disconnecting a tree. The witness registration keeps a pointer to
the tcon and has the same lifetime.
+ Each registration has an id allocated by an IDR. This id is sent to the
userspace daemon in the register command, and will be included in the
notification messages from the userspace daemon to retrieve from the
IDR the matching registration.
+ The authentication information is bundled in the register message.
If kerberos is used the message just carries a flag.
