smb: client: fix missing timestamp updates after utime(2)

Don't reuse open handle when changing timestamps to prevent the server
from disabling automatic timestamp updates as per MS-FSA 2.1.4.17.

import os
import time

filename = '/mnt/foo'

def print_stat(prefix):
    st = os.stat(filename)
    print(prefix, ': ', time.ctime(st.st_atime), time.ctime(st.st_ctime))

fd = os.open(filename, os.O_CREAT|os.O_TRUNC|os.O_WRONLY, 0o644)
print_stat('old')
os.utime(fd, None)
time.sleep(2)
os.write(fd, b'foo')
os.close(fd)
time.sleep(2)
print_stat('new')

Before patch:

$ mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o ...
$ python3 run.py
old :  Fri Oct  3 14:01:21 2025 Fri Oct  3 14:01:21 2025
new :  Fri Oct  3 14:01:21 2025 Fri Oct  3 14:01:21 2025

After patch:

$ mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o ...
$ python3 run.py
old :  Fri Oct  3 17:03:34 2025 Fri Oct  3 17:03:34 2025
new :  Fri Oct  3 17:03:36 2025 Fri Oct  3 17:03:36 2025

Fixes: b6f2a0f89d7e ("cifs: for compound requests, use open handle if possible")
