Subject: [patch] drm/amdgpu: potential NULL dereference in debugfs code

debugfs_create_file() returns NULL on error, it only returns error
pointers if debugfs isn't enabled in the config and we checked for that
earlier so it can't happen.

Fixes: 4f4824b55650 ('drm/amd/amdgpu: Convert ring debugfs entries to binary')
