Subject: [PATCH] xfs: Fix UBSAN null-ptr-deref in xfs_sysfs_init

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

   kernel_init+0x11/0x1e0
   ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

Fix it by checking parent_kobj before the code accesses its member.
