[PATCH] inotify: check for NULL inode in inotify_d_instantiate

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>]

The spufs file system creates files in a directory before instantiating
the directory itself, which causes a NULL pointer access in
inotify_d_instantiate since c32ccd87bfd1414b0aabfcd8dbc7539ad23bcbaa.

I'd like to keep this behavior since it means that the user
will not have access to files in the directory before I know
that I succeed in creating everything in it. This patch adds
a simple check for the inode to keep that working.
