Summary
cifs: Fix oops due to uninitialised variable
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: Fix oops due to uninitialised variable

Fix smb3inittransformrq() to initialise buffer to NULL before calling netfsallocfolioqbuffer() as netfs assumes it can append to the buffer it is given. Setting it to NULL means it should start a fresh buffer, but the value is currently undefined.
