[PATCH][CIFS] Fix uninitialized pointer access to dacl_ptr in build_sec_desc

    smb3: fix possible access to uninitialized pointer to DACL

    dacl_ptr can be null so we must check for it (ie if dacloffset is
set) everywhere dacl_ptr is
    used in build_sec_desc - and we were missing one check

    Addresses-Coverity: 1475598 ("Explicit null dereference")

Thanks,
