[linux-cifs-client] Getting CIFS ACLs larger than CIFSMaxBufSize

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Security descriptors are retrieved using NT Transaction messages.
Transactions are capable of transferring more data than will fit within the
CIFS MaxBufferSize limit.  They do this by making multiple round trips.

When you receive the first Trans response it will tell you how much space
you need in order to retrieve the whole thing.
