s4 smdb standard: Limit processes forked on accept.
Limit the number of processes started by the standard model on accept. For those services that support fork on accept, the standard model forks a new process for each new connection. This patch limits the number of processes to the value specified in 'max smbd processes', a value of zero indicates that there is no limit on the number of processes that can be forked.
