disable most mode changes on non-unix/non-cifsacl mounts
CIFS currently allows you to change the mode of an inode on a share that
doesn't have unix extensions enabled, and isn't using cifsacl. The inode
in this case *only* has its mode changed in memory on the client. This
is problematic since it can change any time the inode is purged from the
cache.
This patch makes cifs_setattr silently ignore most mode changes when
unix extensions and cifsacl support are not enabled, and when the share
is not mounted with the "dynperm" option. The exceptions are:
When a mode change would remove all write access to an inode we turn on
the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server and remove all write bits from the
inode's mode in memory.
When a mode change would add a write bit to an inode that previously had
them all turned off, it turns off the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server,
and resets the mode back to what it would normally be (generally, the
file_mode or dir_mode of the share).
