From: Ivan Orlov <ivan.orlov0322@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4913cfcf014c95f0437db2df1734472fd3e15098 ] The debugfs_create_dir function returns ERR_PTR in case of error, and the only correct way to check if an error occurred is 'IS_ERR' inline function. This patch will replace the null-comparison with IS_ERR.
