[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).
