v2. We can use simply use list_for_each_entry_safe() and
list_next_entry() should be calles under ->i_mutex. Although
debugfs_remove_recursive() can race with itself anyway, but
still.

And the code looks much simpler. But I do not know what did
I miss.

void debugfs_remove_recursive(struct dentry *dentry)

	list_for_each_entry_safe(child, next, &parent->d_subdirs, d_u.d_child) {
		if (!debugfs_positive(child))
			continue;

		/* XXX: simple_empty(child) instead ? */

			mutex_unlock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex);

 up:

	mutex_unlock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex);

		parent = parent->d_parent;
		mutex_lock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex);

		goto up;
