Some operations, like WRITE, does not require FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access. So when FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES is not explicitly requested for smb2_open_file() then first try to do SMB2 CREATE with FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access (like it was before) and then fallback to SMB2 CREATE without FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access (less common case). This change allows to complete WRITE operation to a file when it does not grant FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES permission and its parent directory does not grant READ_DATA permission (parent directory READ_DATA is implicit grant of child FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES permission).
