[PATCH v2] kobject: Restore old behaviour of kobject_del(NULL)
From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Mon Aug 03 2020 - 04:27:12 EST
The commit 079ad2fb4bf9 ("kobject: Avoid premature parent object freeing in
kobject_cleanup()") inadvertently dropped a possibility to call kobject_del()
with NULL pointer. Restore the old behaviour.
Fixes: 079ad2fb4bf9 ("kobject: Avoid premature parent object freeing in kobject_cleanup()")
