[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)
