[PATCH] smb: client: Reduce the scopes for a few variables in two functions

[Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2025 19:01:48 +0200

* cifs_lookup():
  Move the definition for the local variable “cfid” into an else branch
  so that the corresponding setting will only be performed if a NULL inode
  was detected during lookup by this function.

* cifs_d_revalidate():
  Move the definition for the local variables “inode” and “rc” into
  an if branch so that the corresponding setting will only be performed
  after a d_really_is_positive() call.

  Move the definition for the local variable “cfid” into an else branch
  so that the corresponding setting will only be performed if further data
  processing will be needed for an open_cached_dir_by_dentry() call.
