Should check debugfs initialization with debugfs_initialized() before using it,
Because if it isn't initialized, the return value of fake debugfs_create_dir() etc
functions would be ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), checking with NULL will not work.
V2: change author name to normative format.
V3: add warning message about debugfs not configured or disabled.
V4: make the warning clear.
