Public bug reported:

The fix for bug #11395 / CVE-2015-5252 
https://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=7606c0db257b3f9d84da5b2bf5fbb4034cc8d77d
locked down the path checks in check_reduced_name[_with_privilege]() to prevent 
unintended access via wide links.

The new checks do not correctly treat a corner case though: the case of
the share path being "/". (Important e.g. for using the glusterfs VFS
module.)

In this case all operations after tree connect get ACCESS_DENIED.
