Re: [GIT] SMB3 Fixes

OK - understood.  In future will need to separate out some of these
out better.  Various discussions at SambaXP the week before last had
complicated this merge window a little bit.

Also the POSIX ones I had prioritized due to the continued pressure to
workaround various posix behavior regressions that happened with the
move to SMB3 (which was required for security reasons) and disabling
CIFS (which had Unix extensions).   We really want users to stop using
insecure old protocols.

There is an SMB3 interoperability test event this week - so it is
likely to find and fix various bug fixes this week.
