Description

Attempts to use the SMB client to connect to a Mac OSX SMB server fail during connection setup, reporting "device busy".

i.e.
smbutil view //user@macos
mount -F smbfs //user@macos/share /mnt

This bug happens because the MacOS SMB server leaves "credits granted" at zero in the reply to our SMB Negotiate request. Windows and other servers set this to one.

SMB Negotiate is "special" because at that point (very early) in the conversation between client and server, we don't yet know if both parties can deal with SMB2 credits. The spec. says both sides should assume a credit charge of one and a credit grant of one.

The client can accommodate this by overriding the credit grant for this reply.
