cifs: check for private_data before trying to put it
commit 7797069305d13252fd66cf722aa8f2cbeb3c95cd upstream. cifs_close doesn't check that the filp->private_data is non-NULL before trying to put it. That can cause an oops in certain error conditions that can occur on open or lookup before the private_data is set.
