configfs: Fix potential NULL d_inode dereference
Code that does this: if (!(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode)) { ... simple_unlink(parent->d_inode, dentry); } is broken because: !(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode) is equivalent to: !d_unhashed(dentry) || !dentry->d_inode so it is possible to get into simple_unlink() with dentry->d_inode == NULL. simple_unlink(), however, assumes dentry->d_inode cannot be NULL. I think that what was meant is this: !d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode and that the logical-not operator or the final close-bracket was misplaced.
