commit 212253367dc7b49ed3fc194ce71b0992eacaecf2 upstream.
This patch fixes a potential use-after-free bug in cifs_echo_request().
For instance,
thread 1 -------- cifs_demultiplex_thread() clean_demultiplex_info() kfree(server)
thread 2 (workqueue) -------- apic_timer_interrupt() smp_apic_timer_interrupt() irq_exit() __do_softirq() run_timer_softirq() call_timer_fn() cifs_echo_request() <- use-after-free in server ptr
