This path previously returned -ENOMEM, restore that error code so that
it is not uninitialized.

The check of returned value of debugfs_create_dir() is wrong because
by the design debugfs failures should never fail the driver and the
check itself was wrong too. The kernel compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
will return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and not NULL as expected.
