cifs: Allocate validate negotiation request through kmalloc



The data buffer allocated on the stack can't be DMA'ed, ib_dma_map_page will
return an invalid DMA address for a buffer on stack. Even worse, this
incorrect address can't be detected by ib_dma_mapping_error. Sending data
from this address to hardware will not fail, but the remote peer will get
junk data.

Fix this by allocating the request on the heap in smb3_validate_negotiate.

Changes in v2:
Removed duplicated code on freeing buffers on function exit.
(Thanks to Parav Pandit <parav@mellanox.com>)
Fixed typo in the patch title.

Changes in v3:
Added "Fixes" to the patch.
Changed several sizeof() to use *pointer in place of struct.

Changes in v4:
Added detailed comments on the failure through RDMA.
Allocate request buffer using GPF_NOFS.
Fixed possible memory leak.

Changes in v5:
Removed variable ret for checking return value.
Changed to use pneg_inbuf->Dialects[0] to calculate unused space in pneg_inbuf.

Fixes: ff1c038a ("Check SMB3 dialects against downgrade attacks")
