Subject[PATCH][TRIVIAL] mtip32xx: Fix NULL pointer dereference during module unload
An open file-handle to one or more of the driver exported debugfs
nodes causes raciness in recursive removal during module unload;
sometimes a stale parent dentry is dereferenced when more than 1
pci device is present.
