PATCH 1/1 fix auth_key cleanup in SMB2_sess_setup() for possible crash

The ses->auth_key.len field should be zeroed out during error paths, along with the 'response' field.

Rationale:

It is possible with a specially crafted SMB2 server to cause the setup to free the key but keep the session. When the session is recovered (after a connection drop, for example), the following condition turn out to be true:

     ses->auth_key.len != 0  &&  ses->auth_key.response == NULL

This will cause the following memcpy() in setup_ntlmv2_rsp() to GPF, because tiblob == NULL and tilen != 0 (these are the old auth_key values):

     memcpy(ses->auth_key.response + baselen, tiblob, tilen);

As seen here (Fedora 20 kernel build 3.16.3-200.fc20.x86_64):
