[lvc-project] [PATCH v2] cifs: avoid NULL pointer dereference in dbg call

cifs_server_dbg() implies server to be non-NULL so
move call under condition to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: e79b0332ae06 ("cifs: ignore cached share root handle closing errors")
