Ummmm....that won't work. You're now allocating the buffer in
CIFSSMBUnixQuerySymLink, but target_path is just a normal char pointer.
There's no way to pass the pointer back to the caller unless you change
the args for CIFSSMBUnixQuerySymLink.

Please make sure you test these patches before sending them to the list.
