[PATCH] smb: client: fix DACL-rewrite heap overflow in id_mode_to_cifs_acl()

Budget the destination buffer for the worst case in both branches:
every rewritten ACE may take sizeof(struct smb_ace) bytes (which
already accounts for an smb_sid with SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES
sub-authorities), plus the smb_acl header that
replace_sids_and_copy_aces() emits.
