Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 003/212] cifs: Add fallback for SMB2 CREATE without FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES

From: Pali Rohár <pali@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit e255612b5ed9f179abe8196df7c2ba09dd227900 ]

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).
