CIFS: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in smb2_push_mandatory_locks



Currently when the client creates a cifsFileInfo structure for
a newly opened file, it allocates a list of byte-range locks
with a pointer to the new cfile and attaches this list to the
inode's lock list. The latter happens before initializing all
other fields, e.g. cfile->tlink. Thus a partially initialized
cifsFileInfo structure becomes available to other threads that
walk through the inode's lock list. One example of such a thread
may be an oplock break worker thread that tries to push all
cached byte-range locks. This causes NULL-pointer dereference
in smb2_push_mandatory_locks() when accessing cfile->tlink:

Fix this by reordering initialization steps of the cifsFileInfo
structure: initialize all the fields first and then add the new
byte-range lock list to the inode's lock list.
