Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Avoid error pointer dereference
Git-commit: 0bf1bafb17df03fbd0e8b9a086c39e6f24af7193
Patch-mainline: v5.11-rc1
References: bsc#1192606

The patch 7d6535b72042: "cifs: Simplify reconnect code when dfs
upcall is enabled" leads to the following static checker warning:

	fs/cifs/connect.c:160 reconn_set_next_dfs_target()
	error: 'server->hostname' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()

Avoid dereferencing the error pointer by early returning on error
condition.
