Each smb_rqst struct contains two things: an array of kvecs (rq_iov) that contains the protocol data for an RPC op and an iterator (rq_iter) that contains the data payload of an RPC op. When an smb_rqst is allocated rq_iter is it always cleared, but we don't set it up unless we're going to use it. The functions that determines the size of the ciphertext buffer that will be needed to encrypt a request, cifs_get_num_sgs(), assumes that rq_iter is always initialised - and employs user_backed_iter() to check that the iterator isn't user-backed. This used to incidentally work, because ->user_backed was set to false because the iterator has never been initialised, but with commit f1b4cb650b9a0eeba206d8f069fcdc532bfbcd74[1] which changes user_backed_iter() to determine this based on the iterator type insted, a warning is now emitted: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 4584 at fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h:2165 smb2_get_aead_req+0x3fc/0x420 [cifs] ...

ITER_UBUF) which causes user_backed_iter() to return true. The code doesn't malfunction because it checks the size of the iterator - which is 0. Fix cifs_get_num_sgs() to ignore rq_iter if its count is 0, thereby bypassing the warnings. It might be better to explicitly initialise rq_iter to a zero-length ITER_BVEC, say, as it can always be reinitialised later.
