I don't know enough about cifs but this call in fs/cifs/connect.c

2268: rc = CIFSTCon(xid, pSesInfo, temp_unc, NULL, nls_codepage);

will always result in a null pointer derefence as CIFSTCon uses the
cifs_tcon struct for passwords without verification

either we need to check for tcon for null in CIFSTCon before use, or
change get_dfs_path to get the cifs_tcon info and pass it to the
CIFSTCon function. But again I don't know enough about cifs to know
the best approach
