Subject: [PATCH 4.16 044/110] bcache: return 0 from bch_debug_init() if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Coly Li <colyli@...e.de>

commit 1c1a2ee1b53b006754073eefc65d2b2cedb5264b upstream.

Commit 539d39eb2708 ("bcache: fix wrong return value in bch_debug_init()")
returns the return value of debugfs_create_dir() to bcache_init(). When
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, bch_debug_init() always returns 1 and makes
bcache_init() failedi.

This patch makes bch_debug_init() always returns 0 if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n,
so bcache can continue to work for the kernels which don't have debugfs
enanbled.

Changelog:
v4: Add Acked-by from Kent Overstreet.
v3: Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) to replace #ifdef DEBUG_FS.
v2: Remove a warning information
v1: Initial version.
