Subject: [PATCH v4] checkpatch: debugfs_remove() can take NULL

From: Constantine Shulyupin <const@...eLinux.com>

debugfs_remove() and  debugfs_remove_recursive() can take a NULL, so let's check and warn about that.

Changes since v3, as Joe Perches suggested:
- removed redundant check

Changes since v2, as Joe Perches suggested:
- match whitespace around argument

Changes since v1, as Joe Perches suggested:
- added debugfs_remove_recursive
- all tests for patterns are "if (a) xxx(a)" are consolidated
