James Bottomley 36676bcbf9 [PATCH] Fix oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove_file()
The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible.  In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.

The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it.  The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.

(akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.  May not be the
long-term fix)
