Extended attribute support disabled on EPERM

[Mathias Dietz]

Hi all,

the extended attribute support failes on some machines.
In some cases the getxattr call returns a "operation not permitted" error
(EPERM) and
this causes samba to disable the extended attributes support for the whole
service/share.

I've build a small patch to fix this behavior. I would appreciate a review
on it.
