nilfs2: fix NULL pointer in nilfs_##name##_attr_release
[ 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.
