When free_tgts() frees all structures in ce->tlist, ce->tgthint
is left pointing to one of the freed cache_dfs_tgt structures.

If ce->tgthint is not reset before it is used later, it results
in a use-after-free.

Set ce->tgthint to NULL in free_tgts() after the elements are
freed to reflect that no elements remain.

Fixes: 54be1f6c1c37 ("cifs: Add DFS cache routines")
