[PATCH] smb: server: fix max_connections off-by-one in tcp accept path

[DaeMyung Kang]

The global max_connections check in ksmbd's TCP accept path counts
the newly accepted connection with atomic_inc_return(), but then
rejects the connection when the result is greater than or equal to
server_conf.max_connections.

That makes the effective limit one smaller than configured. For
example:

- max_connections=1 rejects the first connection
- max_connections=2 allows only one connection

The per-IP limit in the same function uses <= correctly because it
counts only pre-existing connections. The global limit instead checks
the post-increment total, so it should reject only when that total
exceeds the configured maximum.

Fix this by changing the comparison from >= to >, so exactly
max_connections simultaneous connections are allowed and the next one
is rejected. This matches the documented meaning of max_connections
in fs/smb/server/ksmbd_netlink.h as the "Number of maximum simultaneous
connections".
