Subject: [patch 2.6.21-rc3] [smbfs] "double free" memory corruption in smbfs

smbfs allocates rq_trans2buffer to handle server's multi transaction2 response
messages. As struct smb_request may be reused, rq_trans2buffer is freed before
each new request. However if last servers's response is not multi but single
trans2 message then new rq_trans2buffer is not allocated but last smb_rput still
tries to free it again.
To prevent this issue rq_trans2buffer pointer should be set to NULL after kfree.
