    HDFS-13313. Fix NullPointerException in FSEditLogOp.toString().

    In some subclasses of FSEditLogOp, toString() uses dot(.) operator on
    some fields. Those fields could be set to null by resetSubFields() and a
    NullPointerException would be thrown in toString(). This patch fixes
    this bug by calling StringBuilder.append(field). Thus "null" would be
    printed in the field=null case, and field.toString() code is properly
    reused to avoid repetition.
