Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in destroy_previous_session
If client set ->PreviousSessionId on kerberos session setup stage,
NULL pointer dereference error will happen. Since sess->user is not
set yet, It can pass the user argument as NULL to destroy_previous_session.
sess->user will be set in ksmbd_krb5_authenticate(). So this patch move
calling destroy_previous_session() after ksmbd_krb5_authenticate().
