Since the debugfs_create_dir() never returns a null pointer, checking
the return value for a null pointer is redundant, and using IS_ERR is
safe enough.

This ifdef should not be needed.

No need to tell anyone anything, or ever check the return value of a
debugfs call, please change the logic to that.

Not needed either.
