When the network status is unstable, use-after-free may occur when
read data from the server.

The following function calls will cause UAF of the rdata pointer.

readpages_fill_pages
cifs_read_page_from_socket
cifs_readv_from_socket
cifs_reconnect

__cifs_reconnect
 cifs_abort_connection
  mid->callback() --> smb2_readv_callback
   queue_work(&rdata->work)  # if the worker completes first,
                             # the rdata is freed
      cifs_readv_complete
        kref_put
          cifs_readdata_release
            kfree(rdata)

return rdata->… # UAF in readpages_fill_pages()

Similarly, this problem also occurs in the uncache_fill_pages().

Fix this by adjusts the order of condition judgment in the return
statement.
