cifs: check ntwrk_buf_start for NULL before dereferencing it
RHBZ: 1021460 There is an issue where when multiple threads open/close the same directory ntwrk_buf_start might end up being NULL, causing the call to smbCalcSize later to oops with a NULL deref. The real bug is why this happens and why this can become NULL for an open cfile, which should not be allowed. This patch tries to avoid a oops until the time when we fix the underlying issue.
