[PATCH 6.12.y] smb: client: fix early procfs exposure race

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Fredric Cover <fredric.cover.lkernel@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 7b1afb631395c958993cda4631002258ef4151ea ]

Currently, init_cifs() calls cifs_proc_init() near the beginning of
the function, before INIT_LIST_HEAD, leading to a momentarily
uninitialized, but exposed, procfs. If a userspace process reads this
empty procfs, iterating over a zeroed list_head leads to a NULL
pointer dereference and a kernel oops/panic.

For example, if a delay is added between cifs_proc_init() and
INIT_LIST_HEAD, and a userspace process is polling
/proc/fs/cifs/DebugData, the following oops occurs:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000608

</TASK>

Fix this by moving cifs_proc_init() down in init_cifs(), ensuring it runs
only after all internal lists, locks, counters, and workqueues are fully
ready, but before registering the filesystem. Update the error cleanup
ladder and exit_cifs() to maintain proper LIFO order.
