smb: client: Reset all search buffer pointers when releasing buffer
Multiple pointers in struct cifs_search_info (ntwrk_buf_start, srch_entries_start, and last_entry) point to the same allocated buffer. However, when freeing this buffer, only ntwrk_buf_start was set to NULL, while the other pointers remained pointing to freed memory. This is defensive programming to prevent potential issues with stale pointers. While the active UAF vulnerability is fixed by the previous patch, this change ensures consistent pointer state and more robust error handling.
