When compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL disabled, cifs_dfs_d_automount
NULL. cifs.ko logic for mapping CIFS_FATTR_DFS_REFERRAL attributes to
S_AUTOMOUNT and corresponding dentry flags is retained regardless of
CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in
VFS follow_automount() when traversing a DFS referral link:
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
  ...
  Call Trace:

This fix adds an inline cifs_dfs_d_automount() {return -EREMOTE} handler
when CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL is disabled. An alternative would be to
avoid flagging S_AUTOMOUNT, etc. without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL. This
approach was chosen as it provides more control over the error path.

Thanks, although I'm only aware of Ronnie's review (in this thread).

If you're fixing the reviewed-by, then please also add the missing
"is" between "cifs_dfs_d_automount NULL".

Cheers, David

Fixed description (and updated to include Ronnie's RB)
