Creating sysfs entry failed is non-fatal exception any more since from
commit <222cc7b1cefb>, so when try to remove the entry in
_regulator_put(), it had better to check kernfs_node before calling
sysfs_remove_link().

Otherwise, kernfs would complain warning as below:

kernfs: can not remove 'rt5759_buck_consumer-default', no directory
