commit b85149f6f5d5a9279f29a73b2e95342f4d465e73 upstream.

caam_remove already removes the debugfs entry, so we need to remove the one
immediately before calling caam_remove.

This fix a NULL dereference at error paths is caam_probe fail.

Fixes: 67c2315def06 ("crypto: caam - add Queue Interface (QI) backend support")
