    [CIFS] POSIX extensions disabled on client due to illegal O_EXCL
flag sent to Samba

    Samba rejected libreoffice's attempt to open a file with illegal
    O_EXCL (without O_CREAT).  Mask this flag off (as the local
    linux file system case does) for this case, so that we
    don't have disable Unix Extensions unnecessarily due to
    the Samba error (Samba server is also being fixed).
