[PATCH] drdb: fix debugfs_create_dir and debugfs_create_symlink error handling

[mirimmad]

From: Immad Mir <mirimmad17@gmail.com>

debugfs_create_dir and debugfs_create_symlink return ERR_PTR incase of
a failure which must be checked with the inline function IS_ERR. This
patch attempts to do the same.

Hi, thanks for the patch.

Please see this commit:

commit d27e84a305980ac61df0a6841059d0eb09b8283d
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date:   Tue Jun 18 17:45:49 2019 +0200

    block: drbd: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

    When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
    return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
    never do something different based on this.

Also, it still looks like that whitespace is garbled.

NAK.
