[Impact]
We are seeing a null kernel dereference on kernfs during system sleep
stress.
[Fix]
Make sure kernfs node is not null before reaching to root.
[Test]
Run sleep stress. Not seeing the issue after the fix is applied.
[Regression Potential]
Low. Fix limits to kernfs, also the it has been in upstream kernel for
quite a while.
