[CIFS] work around bug in Samba server handling for posix open
Samba server (version 3.3.1 and earlier, and 3.2.8 and earlier) incorrectly required the O_CREAT flag on posix open (even when a file was not being created). This disables posix open (create is still ok) after the first attempt returns EINVAL (and logs an error, once, recommending that they update their server).

server disk (not just write it over the network). Add new mount
parameter to allow user to disable sending the (slow) SMB flush on
fsync if desired (fsync still flushes all cached write data to the server).
