[PATCH][V2][cifs-next] cifs: fix dereference on ses before it is null checked

From: Colin King
Date: Mon Sep 02 2019 - 11:11:04 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The assignment of pointer server dereferences pointer ses, however,
this dereference occurs before ses is null checked and hence we
have a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by only
dereferencing ses after it has been null checked.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 2808c6639104 ("cifs: add new debugging macro cifs_server_dbg")
