Subject: [PATCH] cifs: remove redundant assignment to pointer pneg_ctxt
Git-commit: a9f76cf82719aea0f41bfcae57e17ffec39743d0
References: bsc#1144333
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1

The pointer pneg_ctxt is being initialized with a value that is never
read and it is being updated later with a new value.  The assignment
is redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
