staging: vboxsf: fix dereference of pointer dentry before it is null checked
 
Currently the pointer dentry is being dereferenced before it is
being null checked.  Fix this by only dereferencing dentry once
we know it is not null.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: df4028658f9d ("staging: Add VirtualBox guest shared folder (vboxsf) support")
