Subject: cifs: prevent infinite recursion in CIFSGetDFSRefer()
From: Paulo Alcantara <pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 09ba47b44d26b475bbdf9c80db9e0193d2b58956 upstream.
We can't call smb_init() in CIFSGetDFSRefer() as cifs_reconnect_tcon()
may end up calling CIFSGetDFSRefer() again to get new DFS referrals
and thus causing an infinite recursion.
