[Samba] Change machine name without a reboot?

[mathias dufresne]

Systemd service files are generally coming with packages. This means these
files can be overwritten by some system update if this updates also your
Samba packages (note: I never had nor tested that behaviour with Samba
packages, but it happens for other packages).
