USB: fix testing the wrong variable in fs_create_by_name()

commit fa7fe7af146a7b613e36a311eefbbfb5555325d1 upstream.

There is a typo here.  We should be testing "*dentry" which was just
assigned instead of "dentry".  This could result in dereferencing an
ERR_PTR inside either usbfs_mkdir() or usbfs_create().
