Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix warning and UAF when destroy the MR list
If the MR allocate failed, the MR recovery work not initialized
and list not cleared. Then will be warning and UAF when release
the MR:

Let's initialize the MR recovery work before MR allocate to prevent
the warning, remove the MRs from the list to prevent the UAF.
