[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH] cifs: NULL out tcon, pSesInfo, and srvTcp pointers when chasing DFS referrals

The scenario is this:

The kernel gets EREMOTE and starts chasing a DFS referral at mount time.
The tcon reference is put, which puts the session reference too, but
neither pointer is zeroed out.

The mount gets retried (goto try_mount_again) with new mount info.
Session setup fails fails and rc ends up being non-zero. The code then
falls through to the end and tries to put the previously freed tcon
pointer again.

Fix this by moving the initialization of the rc variable and the tcon,
pSesInfo and srvTcp pointers below the try_mount_again label. Also, add
a FreeXid() before the goto to prevent xid "leaks".
