Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 087/219] net/mlx5: Continue driver initialization despite debugfs failure

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

[ Upstream commit 199fa087dc6b503baad06712716fac645a983e8a ]

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.

Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters")
