Subject: [PATCH 4.14 17/31] cifs: fix potential use-after-free in cifs_echo_request()

From: Paulo Alcantara <pc@....nz>

commit 212253367dc7b49ed3fc194ce71b0992eacaecf2 upstream.

This patch fixes a potential use-after-free bug in
cifs_echo_request().

For instance,

  thread 1
  --------
  cifs_demultiplex_thread()
    clean_demultiplex_info()
      kfree(server)

  thread 2 (workqueue)
  --------
  apic_timer_interrupt()
    smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
      irq_exit()
        __do_softirq()
          run_timer_softirq()
            call_timer_fn()
	      cifs_echo_request() <- use-after-free in server ptr
