silently ignore ownership changes unless unix extensions are enabled or we're faking uid changes
CIFS currently allows you to change the ownership of a file, but unless unix extensions are enabled this change is not passed off to the server. Have CIFS silently ignore ownership changes that can't be persistently stored on the server unless the "setuids" option is explicitly specified. We could return an error here (-EOPNOTSUPP or something), but this is how most disk-based windows filesystems on behave on Linux (e.g. VFAT, NTFS, etc). With cifsacl support and proper Windows to Unix idmapping support, we may be able to do this more properly in the future.
