No, I mean unix_convert should create smb_filename, changing
the argument to "struct smb_filename **smb_fname" :-)

I'd use this only if this turns to be out to be a noticeable
performance hit. Just allocate a talloc_pool that can carry
all the children's memory, and allocating the children won't
call malloc(3) anymore.
