mainlining shenanigans
2c1cf00eea
If create_buf_file() returns an error, don't try to reference it later
as a valid dentry pointer.
This problem was exposed when debugfs started to return errors instead
of just NULL for some calls when they do not succeed properly.
Also, the check for WARN_ON(dentry) was just wrong :)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
