[PATCH] debugfs: document that debugfs_remove*() accepts NULL and error values

[ulfalizer.lkml@gmail.com]

From: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@gmail.com>

According to commit a59d6293e537 ("debugfs: change parameter check in
debugfs_remove() functions"), this is meant to make cleanup easier for
callers. In that case it ought to be documented.
