    x86/mce: Do not check return value of debugfs_create functions · 6e4f929e
    Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
    When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
    return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
    never do something different based on this.
    
    The only way this can fail is if:
    
     * debugfs superblock can not be pinned - something really went wrong with the
     vfs layer.
     * file is created with same name - the caller's fault.
     * new_inode() fails - happens if memory is exhausted.
    
    so failing to clean up debugfs properly is the least of the system's
    sproblems in uch a situation.
