vmw_validation_add_resource() calls hash_add_rcu() only when
ctx->sw_context is non-NULL, but the doomed-resource error path calls
hash_del_rcu() unconditionally. The validation contexts declared with
DECLARE_VAL_CONTEXT(_, NULL, 0) in vmwgfx_kms.c, vmwgfx_scrn.c,
vmwgfx_stdu.c and vmwgfx_execbuf.c consequently reach a delete for a
node that was never added to any hash chain.
That is harmless today, but only incidentally so. hash_del_rcu() is
hlist_del_init_rcu(), which is guarded by hlist_unhashed(), and
vmw_validation_mem_alloc() hands out memory from __GFP_ZERO pages that
are never recycled within a context's lifetime, so
node->hash.head.pprev is always NULL and the delete does nothing.
Neither property is apparent at the call site, and the asymmetry with
the add side invites a real bug the first time either one changes.
Mirror the condition from the add side so the node is only unlinked
when it was actually linked. No functional change.
