Patch

From ff574b050ad9622330247ac5d4a056e931362b82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@samba.org>
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2010 19:51:43 -0400
Subject: [PATCH] cifs: enable CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH before chdir() and realpath() calls

It's possible that root won't have privileges to chdir or evaluate the
paths without that capability.
