[PATCH] DON'T PANIC!

[Ralph Böhme]

Hi!

A customer ran into this when the FUSE mount he was sharing with Samba went 
dead.

An abort makes it look like a problem in Samba, so instead of aborting we may 
want to simply exit in this error case (and probably a few others).

Please review&push if happy. Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] s3:smbd: don't panic in process_symlink_open() error code
 path

This was hit on a system with a FUSE filesystem that went dead.

DON'T PANIC! A simple exit_server_cleanly() should be enough. A crashing
Samba makes it look like there's a real problem in Samba where this is
clearly not the case here.
