[PATCH] kernfs: fix NULL dereferencing in kernfs_remove
From: Minchan Kim
Date: Wed Apr 27 2022 - 13:22:04 EST
kernfs_remove supported NULL kernfs_node param to bail out but revent
per-fs lock change introduced regression that dereferencing the
param without NULL check so kernel goes crash.
This patch checks the NULL kernfs_node in kernfs_remove and if so,
just return.
