Re: [linux-cifs-client] [PATCH] cifs: fix oops on mount when CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL is enabled

From: Q (Igor Mammedov)

A quick look trough cifs_mount and cifs_parse_mount_options functions shows
that mount will fail anyway with error EINVAL when 'data' = NULL.
May be moving NULL check at the beginning of function will be better
in this case.
