Both debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() return ERR_PTR
and never return NULL.
As Hans suggested, this patch removes the error checking for both
debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() in smsdvb_debugfs_create().
This is because the DebugFS kernel API is developed in a way that the
caller can safely ignore the errors that occur during the creation of
DebugFS nodes. The debugfs APIs have a IS_ERR() judge in start_creating()
which can handle it gracefully. So these checks are unnecessary.
And as Hans pointed out, it's much better to first allocate debug_data
before calling debugfs_create_dir, which need not to clean anything up in
that case.
