[-next,v3,1/2] media: cec: remove redundant null pointer checks in cec_devnode_init()

  Since the debugfs_create_dir() never returns a null pointer, checking
the return value for a null pointer is redundant. Remove this check
since debugfs_create_file can handle IS_ERR pointers. At the same time,
debugfs_create_dir returns ERR_PTR (-ENODEV) by default when
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=N, so there is no need for CONFIG_DEBUG_FS macro
isolation.

I'm going to be a pain here, and say "why do you need top_cec_dir at
all?"

Why not just look it up every time you want it after creating it with a
call to debugfs_lookup() or debugfs_lookup_and_remove()?

anyway, not a big deal, it's up to the maintainers here to want this as
well, just a thought for further calls cleanup work.

This still has to remain under #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS, otherwise cec_error_inj_fops
is not defined. You can probably move the #ifdef to just before the debugfs_create_file
call above.
