[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 1/1] gfs2: incorrect check for debugfs returns

[Chengyu Song <csong84@gatech.edu>]

debugfs_create_dir and debugfs_create_file may return -ENODEV when debugfs
is not configured, so the return value should be checked against ERROR_VALUE
as well, otherwise the later dereference of the dentry pointer would crash
the kernel.
