symbolic link mitigation for connection refused on rpc calls

The samba-dcerpcd creating the socket on the
/var/run/samba4/ncalrpc/np/epmapper location, but the smbd is looking for it on
the /var/run/samba4/ncalrpc/EPMAPPER location, which causing "Connection
refused" problem in rpc calls.

This behavior is observed when
rpc_server:epmapper = external
is present in the smb4.conf file.

If the mitigation of the problem (creating symbolic links) is not handled
correctly, the connection will fail.
