Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix potential NULL deref in
 parse_dfs_referrals()

If server returned no data for FSCTL_DFS_GET_REFERRALS, @dfs_rsp will
remain NULL and then parse_dfs_referrals() will dereference it.

Fix this by returning -EIO when no output data is returned.

Besides, we can't fix it in SMB2_ioctl() as some FSCTLs are allowed to
return no data as per MS-SMB2 2.2.32.
