We recently shuffled this code around and introduced a new error path
before *resp_buf_type gets initialized.  It creates uninitialized
variable bugs in the callers.

    fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c:579 SMB2_negotiate()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'resp_buftype'.

Fixes: 738f9de5cdb9 ("CIFS: Send RFC1001 length in a separate iov")

LGTM. To be a bit more explicit:

resp_buf_type is an output parameter of the SendReceive2 function and in
case the kmalloc failed the function could return to the caller with
this parameter left uninitialized.
