smb: client: fix double free of TCP_Server_Info::hostname
[ Upstream commit fa2f9906a7b333ba757a7dbae0713d8a5396186e ]
When shutting down the server in cifs_put_tcp_session(), cifsd thread
might be reconnecting to multiple DFS targets before it realizes it
should exit the loop, so @server->hostname can't be freed as long as
cifsd thread isn't done. Otherwise the following can happen:
