Commit abdb1742a312 removed code that clears ctx->username when
sec=none, so attempting to mount with '-o sec=none' now fails with
-EACCES.  Fix it by adding that logic to the parsing of the 'sec'
option, as well as checking if the mount is using null auth before
setting the username when parsing the 'user' option.

Fixes: abdb1742a312 ("cifs: get rid of mount options string parsing")
