[PATCH v2] b43legacy: don't save dentries for debugfs

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

There is no need to keep around the dentry pointers for the debugfs
files as they will all be automatically removed when the subdir is
removed.  So save the space and logic involved in keeping them around by
just getting rid of them entirely.

By doing this change, we remove one of the last in-kernel user that was
storing the result of debugfs_create_bool(), so that api can be cleaned
up.

Note, I can take this through my debugfs tree if wanted, that way I can
clean up the debugfs_create_bool() api at the same time.  Otherwise it's
fine, I can wait until next -rc1 for that to happen.

v2: remove X/N from subject, it is a stand-alone patch.
