Subject: [PATCH -next] platform/x86: intel-ips: remove unnecessary checks in ips_debugfs_init

As Greg KH explained in:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/15/114

There no need to check the return value of debugfs_create_file/
debugfs_create_dir.

This also fix static code checker warnings:

drivers/platform/x86/intel_ips.c:1314
 ips_debugfs_init() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'
drivers/platform/x86/intel_ips.c:1328
 ips_debugfs_init() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'
