cifs: don't dereference smb_file_target before null check There is a null check on dst_file->private data which suggests it can be potentially null. However, before this check, pointer smb_file_target is derived from dst_file->private and dereferenced in the call to tlink_tcon, hence there is a potential null pointer deference. Fix this by assigning smb_file_target and target_tcon after the null pointer sanity checks.
