[Samba] per share way to not follow msdfs links

[Aurélien Aptel]

Re-sending with right email...

 msdfs root is set to "no" by default and is per-share.

     [myshare]
     msdfs root = no
     path = ...

 Should do the trick.

 Otherwise if mounting on linux you can also use the 'nodfs' mount option
 (mount.cifs //host/share/... /mnt/ -o ...,nodfs) to disable DFS
 resolving and automatic sub-mounting.

Yep, sounds like a bug indeed. You still have the option to edit the smb.conf
on the server side if you want to use smb2+.
