Generated smb.conf needs to declare state directory

[Nikolaus Rath]

The smb.conf generated by the userspace networking does not include a state directory
directive. Samba therefore falls back to the default value. Since the user generally
does not have write access to this path, smbd immediately crashes.

I have attached a patch that adds the missing option.

That may fix old complaints about the smb feature not working. Since which smb version is this switch available? Maybe we need to make a version check before injecting it.

In any case, please post such a change as proper patch (subject, description, signed-off) to qemu-devel. Thanks!

This option is available since 3.4.0.

I just sent a patch to qemu-devel. Am I going to get some confirmation when it is applied? I'm unfamiliar with the development model.
