Subject: [PATCH] kernfs: fix NULL dereferencing in kernfs_remove

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.

SuperMicro servers with 2x Xeon(R) Gold 6126 CPU. Here is the error
