Huh?  When does debugfs_create_dir() return ERR_PTR()?

Any interface that mixes returning NULL for error-reporting with returning
ERR_PTR(...) for the same needs to be put out of its misery.  As it happens,
debugfs_create_dir() returns NULL on all errors.  And if you've meant the
above as "future-proofing"... don't do that, please.  That only breeds
confusion down the road, as the code gets cut'n'pasted around.

*blink*
Does that even compile?
