And here's a "final" version of this, that removes all of the "dodgy"
checks, with the exception of the "is this actually a dentry" check that
my first patch had, which is still required.
Overall it makes the code smaller and simpler, but for 5.0-final, I
think my original patch should be all that is needed.
thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions
When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
