In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: Fix use-after-free in rdata->read_into_pages()

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.
