David Howells 112fc894a7 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.
