Subject: [PATCH] net: mac80211: use IS_ERR to check return value

According to the annotation of function debugfs_create_fs, if
an error occurs, ERR_PTR(-ERROR) will be returned instead of
a null pointer or zero value.

Fix it by using IS_ERR().

Fixes: e9f207f0ff90 ("[MAC80211]: Add debugfs attributes.")
