Greg KH suggests that normal code should not care about debugfs. Therefore no matter successful or failed of debugfs_create_dir() execution, it is unncessary to check its return value.
There are two functions called debugfs_create_dir() and check the return value, which are bch_debug_init() and closure_debug_init(). This patch changes these two functions from int to void type, and ignore return values of debugfs_create_dir().
This patch does not fix exact bug, just makes things work as they should.
