[PATCH 2/4] FS: cifs, remove unneeded NULL tests

[Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>]

Stanse found that pSMBFile in cifs_ioctl and file->f_path.dentry in
cifs_user_write are dereferenced prior their test to NULL.

The alternative is not to dereference them before the tests. The patch is
to point out the problem, you have to decide.
