smbd: Fix a profile problem

When trying to read a profile, under certain circumstances Windows tries
to read with its machine account first. The profile previously written
was stored with an ACL that only allows access for the user and not
the machine. Windows should get an NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED when using
the machine account, making it retry with the user account (which would
then succeed).

Samba under these circumstances erroneously gives
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND, which makes Windows give up and not
retry. The reasons is the "dropbox" patch in unix_convert, turning EACCESS
on the last path component to OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND. This patch makes
the dropbox behaviour only kick in when we are creating a file. I think
this is an abstraction violation. unix_convert() should not have to know
about the create_disposition, but given that we have pathname resolution
separated from the core open code right now this is the best we can do.
