Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Modify error handling

To indicate an error, debugfs_create_file can return an ERR_PTR for
!CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and NULL otherwise, so in case the result is
dereferenced there should be a previous IS_ERR and a NULL check.

The Coccinelle semantic patch used to find the issue is as follows:
@@
expression e;
identifier f;
@@

*  e = debugfs_create_file(...);
... when != e == NULL
e->f
