I'm not a fan of BUG_ON(), but in this case, if you have a completely
bogus pointer here, and then you return fsd->real_fops which will be
even more bogus, and *then* you call a function from within it... that
seems like a recipe for disaster.
So either you could return some valid ops (perhaps
debugfs_noop_file_operations although those don't have .name or .poll,
so it doesn't cover everything), or you can just BUG_ON() here
directly, saving the incomprehensible crash later.
