Description

The SMB client has some code that computes when it may use "large read/write" which predated clarifications in the MS-SMB spec. about when that capability should be used. See:
http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/lib/libsmbfs/smb/ssnsetup.c#498

Since then, MS-SMB 2.2.4.5 has clarified that when SMB signing is enabled, the client should NOT use "large read/write" even though the server might offer those capabilities.

The current code disables large read/write with signing if the server looks like a Windows system, but that part of the check (is this windows) should be removed, so that the client always disables large read/write when signing is in use.
