[CIFS] Allow reset of file to ATTR_NORMAL when archive bit not set

When a file had a dos attribute of 0x1 (readonly - but dos attribute
of archive was not set) - doing chmod 0777 or equivalent would
try to set a dos attribute of 0 (which some servers ignore)
rather than ATTR_NORMAL (0x20) which most servers accept.
Does not affect servers which support the CIFS Unix Extensions.

[<cebbert@redhat.com>: removed changelog part of patch]
