3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alaa Hleihel <alaa@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 14fa91e0fef8e4d6feb8b1fa2a807828e0abe815 upstream. netdev_wait_allrefs() could rebroadcast NETDEV_UNREGISTER event multiple times until all refs are gone, which will result in calling ipoib_delete_debug_files multiple times and printing a warning. Remove the WARN_ONCE since checks of NULL pointers before calling debugfs_remove are not needed.
