cifs: Improve SMB2+ stat() to work also without FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES
If SMB2_OP_QUERY_INFO (called when POSIX extensions are not used) failed
with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED then it means that caller does not have
permission to open the path with FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access and therefore
cannot issue SMB2_OP_QUERY_INFO command.
This will result in the -EACCES error from stat() sycall.
There is an alternative way how to query limited information about path but
still suitable for stat() syscall. SMB2 OPEN/CREATE operation returns in
its successful response subset of query information.
So try to open the path without FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES but with
MAXIMUM_ALLOWED access which will grant the maximum possible access to the
file and the response will contain required query information for stat()
syscall.
This will improve smb2_query_path_info() to query also files which do not
grant FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access to caller.
