[PATCH 4/4] [SMB3] Fix coverity warning

From: Steve French
Date: Fri Mar 27 2015 - 01:28:56 EST


Coverity reports a warning for referencing the beginning of the
SMB2/SMB3 frame using the ProtocolId field as an array. Although
it works the same either way, this patch should quiet the warning
and might be a little clearer.
