'q->debugfs_dir' is created in blk_register_queue(), however, it's not removed in blk_unregister_queue() and is delayed to blk_release_queue(). Thus it's possible that del_gendisk() is done and the old 'debugfs_dir' is not removed yet, and in the mean time blk_register_queue() is called for the new device with the same name. In this case, kernel will compalin about creation failure for 'debugfs_dir' like following: debugfs: Directory 'nullb1' with parent 'block' already present! Fix the problem by moving forward the removal of 'debgfs_dir' to blk_unregister_queue().
