Discovered at Connectathon 2009...

Some servers apparently require that the filehandle passed to a trans2
rename be opened with the SYNCHRONIZE bit set. If it isn't then the
server may throw back an error.

This patch makes the cifs-capable connectathon tests pass when run
against BlueArc servers. I've also heard rumors that Win2k requires
that the file be opened with this bit set as well, but I haven't
confirmed it.

After doing a bit more research on this, I think this patch is not
correct. The SYNCHRONIZE bit should never be sent on over the wire
calls. If BlueArc's servers require this then it's bug on their end.
Please disregard this patch.

I agree
I have confirmed that there are a couple of cases when Windows clients can
send this bit, but the bit is supposed to be cleared, and none of
those operations
required this bit be set (and in fact their documentation forbids it to be set).
