Subject: [PATCH 4.19 132/306] fs/cifs: fix uninitialised variable warnings

From: Garry McNulty <garrmcnu@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit ef2298a06d012973bbc592b86fe5ff730d4d0c63 ]

In some error conditions, resp_buftype can be passed uninitialised to
free_rsp_buf(), potentially resulting in a spurious debug message.
If resp_buftype randomly had the value 1 (CIFS_SMALL_BUFFER) then this
would log a debug message.
The rsp pointer is initialised to NULL so there is no other side-effect.
