debugfs_create_dir() can fail and return NULL. Looking at other drivers, most
seem to assume it will work. Since the scsi_debug driver is often used to test
abnormal situations, perhaps adding something like:
     if (!sdebug_debugfs_root)
         pr_info("%s: failed to create initial debugfs directory\n", __func__);

might save someone a bit of time if a NULL dereference on sdebug_debugfs_root
follows later. That is what the mpt3sas driver does.
