It is impossible for debugfs_create_dir() to return NULL, so checking for it gives people a false sense that they actually are doing something if an error occurs. As there is no need to ever change kernel logic if debugfs is working "properly" or not, there is no need to check the return value of debugfs calls, so remove the checks here as they will never be triggered and are wrong.
