cifs: don't dereference smb_file_target before null check
There is a null check on dst_file->private data which suggests it can be potentially null. However, before this check, pointer smb_file_target is derived from dst_file->private and dereferenced in the call to tlink_tcon, hence there is a potential null pointer deference. Fix this by assigning smb_file_target and target_tcon after the null pointer sanity checks.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
