[ Upstream commit 96cf2a2c75567ff56195fe3126d497a2e7e4379f ]
If xfs_sysfs_init is called with parent_kobj == NULL, UBSAN shows the following warning:
UBSAN: null-ptr-deref in ./fs/xfs/xfs_sysfs.h:37:23 member access within null pointer of type 'struct xfs_kobj' Call Trace: dump_stack+0x10e/0x195 ubsan_type_mismatch_common+0x241/0x280 __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1+0x32/0x40 init_xfs_fs+0x12b/0x28f do_one_initcall+0xdd/0x1d0 do_initcall_level+0x151/0x1b6 do_initcalls+0x50/0x8f do_basic_setup+0x29/0x2b kernel_init_freeable+0x19f/0x20b kernel_init+0x11/0x1e0 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
Fix it by checking parent_kobj before the code accesses its member.
