Even if we fix client to handle larger responses, Windows Server will not allow more than 4091 characters due to MS-FSA 2.1.5.10.37. It's even worst with encryption that we only support parsing large responses with SMB2_READ. Yes, we could fix the client to support up to 4091 chars, but that is out of scope for this series. This patch is for allowing users to create SMB symlinks and read them back with and without encryption.
