Otherwise we end up stuffing blktrace files on the debugfs root directory. In the worst case scenario this *in theory* can create an eventual panic *iff* in the future a similarly named file is created prior on the debugfs root directory. This theoretical crash can happen due to a recursive removal followed by a specific dentry removal. This doesn't fix any known crash, however I have seen the files go into the main debugfs root directory in cases where the debugfs directory was not created due to other internal bugs with blktrace now fixed. blktrace is also completely useless without this directory, so this ensures to userspace we only setup blktrace if the kernel can stuff files where they are supposed to go into. debugfs directory creations typically aren't checked for, and we have maintainers doing sweep removals of these checks, but since we need this check to ensure proper userspace blktrace functionality we make sure to annotate the justification for the check.
