From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> commit e64daad660a0c9ace3acdc57099fffe5ed83f977 upstream. sysfs_remove_link() causes a warning if the parent directory does not exist. That can happen if the device link consumer has not been registered. So do not attempt sysfs_remove_link() in that case.
