Subject[PATCH v3] xen/debugfs: Check debugfs initialization before using it
Date
From: "ethan.zhao" <ethan.kernel@gmail.com>

Should check debugfs initialization with debugfs_initialized() before using it,
Because if it isn't initialized, the return value of fake debugfs_create_dir() etc
functions would be ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), checking with NULL will not work.

V3: add warning message when debugfs not configured or disabled.
