CIFS: Clarify SMB1 code for UnixCreateSymLink



Coverity also complains about the way we calculate the offset
(starting from the address of a 4 byte array within the
header structure rather than from the beginning of the struct
plus 4 bytes) for creating SMB1 symlinks when using the Unix
extensions.  This doesn't change the address but
makes it slightly clearer.
