[PATCH 2/3] sysfs: fix condition check in sysfs_drop_dentry()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx>

The condition check doesn't make much sense as it basically always
succeeds.  This causes NULL dereferencing on certain cases.  It seems
that parentheses are put in the wrong place.  Fix it.
