Subject: [PATCH 3.16 43/99] net/mlx5: Continue driver initialization
 despite debugfs failure

3.16.65-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...lanox.com>

commit 199fa087dc6b503baad06712716fac645a983e8a upstream.

The failure to create debugfs entry is unpleasant event, but not enough
to abort drier initialization. Align the mlx5_core code to debugfs design
and continue execution whenever debugfs_create_dir() successes or not.
