From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> debugfs_create_automount() can store a function pointer in d_fsdata, and for directories it may be NULL. The commit 7c8d469877b1 ("debugfs: add support for more elaborate ->d_fsdata") ignored that, and while freeing NULL is just fine, if an automount is ever removed we'd attempt to kfree() the function pointer. This currently never happens since the only user (tracing) will never remove the automount dir. Later patches changed the logic here again to store the real fops, and store the allocation only after a debugfs file reference is obtained via debugfs_file_get(). Remove debugfs_release_dentry() so we won't attempt to do anything common with the different uses of d_fsdata, and put the freeing of the allocated data where it's last possibly used, in __debugfs_file_removed(), which is only called for regular files. Also check in debugfs_file_get() that it gets only called on regular files, just to make things clearer.
