Paulo AlcantaraandJakub Kicinski a50eba1e77 net: dns_resolver: allow shorter names in dns_query() ...

Customer reported a problem with mounting CIFS shares where the server
hostname was 2 chars long.  Turned out that the CIFS client wasn't
able to resolve NetBIOS names shorter than 3 chars.

Fix this by allowing a minimum of one character per hostname in
dns_query().

Reproducer with samba server:

  # 'ab' and 'srv' hotnames resolve to same ip address
  $ ssh srv ln -s 'msdfs:\\ab\\share' /home/shares/dfs/link1
  $ mount.cifs //srv/dfs/link1 /mnt -o ... [EINVAL]
