Subject: [PATCH net v3] net: bonding: 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 bond_create_debugfs() was forgotten.

Fixes: 52333512701b ("net: bonding: remove unnecessary braces")
