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

smb: client: fix use-after-free bug in cifs_debug_data_proc_show()

Skip SMB sessions that are being teared down
(e.g. @ses->ses_status == SES_EXITING) in cifs_debug_data_proc_show()
to avoid use-after-free in @ses.

This fixes the following GPF when reading from /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData
while mounting and umounting
