[patch] CIFS: set *resp_buf_type to NO_BUFFER on error

We recently shuffled this code around and introduced a new error path
before *resp_buf_type gets initialized.  It creates uninitialized
variable bugs in the callers.

    fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c:579 SMB2_negotiate()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'resp_buftype'.

Fixes: 738f9de5cdb9 ("CIFS: Send RFC1001 length in a separate iov")
