nfsd: Fix inconsistent assignment
Dereferenced pointer "dentry" without checking and assigned to inode in the declaration. (We could just delete the NULL checks that follow instead, as we never get to the encode function in this particular case. But it takes a little detective work to verify that fact, so it's probably safer to leave the checks in place.)
