stable inclusion from stable-5.10.69 commit 0480f7a480bccdd5e747e64365b703105ccae350 bugzilla: 182675 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4I3ED
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ 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.
