This looks correct to me, and matches the description of debugfs_remove
in Documentation/filesystems/debugfs.rst.

If you have a number of similar fixes it might be helpful to do them in
a single bigger patch, but I'm not sure if coccicheck reports much else
as I don't have coccinelle installed at the moment.

It looks like the kernel test robot also reported this:
"[PATCH] powerpc/iommu/debug: fix ifnullfree.cocci warnings"
Weirdly I don't see it in patchwork.

I'm not sure which one mpe will want to take but either would do.

(Also, while unimportant, that's technically not the error you fix here
as it's for a different file!)
