Subject: [PATCH net v1] bna:Fix error checking for debugfs_create_dir()

The debugfs_create_dir() function returns error pointers,
it never returns NULL. Most incorrect error checks were fixed,
but the one in bnad_debugfs_init() was forgotten.

Fix the remaining error check.

Signed-off-by: Wang Ming <machel@...o.com>

Fixes: 7afc5dbde091 ("bna: Add debugfs interface.")
