Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: change parameter check in debugfs_remove() functions

The dentry parameter in debugfs_remove() and debugfs_remove_recursive()
is checked being a NULL pointer. To make cleanup by callers easier this
check is extended using the IS_ERR_OR_NULL macro instead because the
debugfs_create_... functions can return a ERR_PTR() value.
