Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: protect debugfs_create_files() from failures

mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.0-rc6
commit 36991ca68db9dd43bac7f3519f080ee3939263ef
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 9360
CVE: NA
---------------------------

If debugfs were to return a non-NULL error for a debugfs call, using
that pointer later in debugfs_create_files() would crash.

Fix that by properly checking the pointer before referencing it.
