Subject: [PATCH] s390/pci: Remove unnecessary if condition

Remove unnecessary error handling because the only failure value that
can be returned is NULL and so the test can never be true.

The Coccinelle semantic patch used to make this change is as follows:
@@
expression e;
@@

  e = debugfs_create_file(...);
- if(IS_ERR(e)) { e = NULL; }
