A new dir entry can be created in get_subdir and its 'header->parent' is
set to NULL.  Only after insert_header success, it will be set to 'dir',
otherwise 'header->parent' is set to NULL and drop_sysctl_table is called.
However in err handling path of get_subdir, drop_sysctl_table also be
called on 'new->header' regardless its value of parent pointer.  Then
put_links is called, which triggers NULL-ptr deref when access member of
header->parent.

In fact we have multiple error paths which call drop_sysctl_table() there,
upon failure on insert_links() we also call drop_sysctl_table().And even
in the successful case on __register_sysctl_table() we still always call
drop_sysctl_table().This patch fix it.
