[PATCH] cifs: fix possible uninitialized access and race on iface_list

[Aurelien Aptel <aaptel@xxxxxxxx>]

iface[0] was accessed regardless of the count value and without
locking.

* check count before accessing any ifaces
* make copy of iface list (it's a simple POD array) and use it without
  locking.
