From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently the pointer dentry is being dereferenced before it is
being null checked. Fix this by only dereferencing dentry once
we know it is not null.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: df4028658f9d ("staging: Add VirtualBox guest shared folder (vboxsf) support")
