configfs: Don't try to d_delete() negative dentries.

When configfs is faking mkdir() on its subsystem or default group
objects, it starts by adding a negative dentry.  It then tries to
instantiate the group.  If that should fail, it must clean up after
itself.

I was using d_delete() here, but configfs_attach_group() promises to
return an empty dentry on error.  d_delete() explodes with the entry
dentry.  Let's try d_drop() instead.  The unhashing is what we want for
our dentry.
