Here it is.  I tested it by actually replacing the original function in
wireless-testing.  I checked unloading all wireless drivers.  I also
tested error handling by keeping a file in debugfs open while removing
the modules.

I could compile it against Linux 2.6.26, so it's portable enough for our
purposes.


void debugfs_remove_recursive(struct dentry *dentry)
{
	struct dentry *last = NULL;

	/* Sanity checks */
	if (!dentry || !dentry->d_parent || !dentry->d_parent->d_inode)
		return;

	while (dentry != last) {
		struct dentry *child = dentry;

		/* Find a child without children */
		while (!list_empty(&child->d_subdirs))
			child = list_entry(child->d_subdirs.next, struct dentry,
					   d_u.d_child);

		/* Bail out if we already tried to remove that entry */
		if (child == last)
			return;

		last = child;
		debugfs_remove(child);
	}
}
