Subject[PATCH 5.4 40/50] nilfs2: fix NULL pointer in nilfs_##name##_attr_release
Date
From: Nanyong Sun <sunnanyong@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit dbc6e7d44a514f231a64d9d5676e001b660b6448 ]

In nilfs_##name##_attr_release, kobj->parent should not be referenced
because it is a NULL pointer. The release() method of kobject is always
called in kobject_put(kobj), in the implementation of kobject_put(), the
kobj->parent will be assigned as NULL before call the release() method.
So just use kobj to get the subgroups, which is more efficient and can fix
a NULL pointer reference problem.
