[PATCH -mm] sysfs: Fix oops in sysfs_drop_dentry on x86_64

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Fix oops on x86_64 caused by the dereference of dir in sysfs_drop_dentry() made
before checking if dir is not NULL
(cf. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118151626704924&w=2).
