If the cifsacl mount option is used and we try to list a directory that contains entries where we do not have READ_CONTROL access we will see errors such as "ls: cannot access '...': Permission denied" and the directory listing will show files with funny attributes like "-?????????? ? ? ? ? ? foo002.txt" This patch fixes this by checking the error from reading the security descriptor and if it failed with EACCES we fake the attributes as all 0.
