sysfs_drop_dentry(): possible NULL dereference

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>]

The Coverity checker spotted the following incorrect part of
commit 94bebf4d1b8e7719f0f3944c037a21cfd99a4af7:

<--  snip  -->

...
 void sysfs_drop_dentry(struct sysfs_dirent * sd, struct dentry * parent)
 {
        struct dentry * dentry = sd->s_dentry;
+       struct inode *inode;
 
        if (dentry) {
                spin_lock(&dcache_lock);
                spin_lock(&dentry->d_lock);
                if (!(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode)) {
+                       inode = dentry->d_inode;
+                       spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
...

<--  snip  -->

If (!dentry->d_inode), then it's a NULL dereference.
