Subject: [PATCH] rpc: properly check debugfs dentry before using it
debugfs can now report an error code if something went wrong instead of
just NULL. So if the return value is to be used as a "real" dentry, it
needs to be checked if it is an error before dereferenceing it.
This is now happening because of ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error values,
not NULL")

I can take this through my tree if people don't object, or it can go
through the NFS tree. It does need to get merged before 5.0-final
though.
I also have a "larger" debugfs cleanup patch for this file, but that's
not really 5.0-final material and I will send it out later.
thanks,
greg k-h
