debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() return error pointers on
failure, but megasas_setup_debugfs() only checks for NULL. As a result,
setup continues after directory creation fails, and a failure to create
raidmap_dump leaves the per-adapter directory behind.
Skip per-adapter setup if the driver debugfs root is unavailable, and
use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to check directory and file creation results so
that the existing error paths also handle error pointers.
With the corrected error check, file creation failure removes the
per-adapter directory. Clear the stored directory pointer as well so
teardown does not attempt to remove the freed dentry again.

The debugfs creation helpers return error pointers on failure, so the
existing NULL checks do not handle creation failures. There is no need
to add error handling here: debugfs accepts error pointers as parents
and debugfs_remove_recursive() safely handles error pointers and NULL.
Remove the ineffective checks, error messages and file-creation rollback.
Leave any successfully created directory for the existing teardown path
to remove, even if creating raidmap_dump fails.
The setup function is called only once per instance from probe, so create
the per-adapter directory without checking whether it already exists.

Changes in v2:
- Remove debugfs error checks and logging instead of adding
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() checks, following review feedback.
- Leave directory cleanup to the existing teardown path.
- Remove the redundant directory existence check, since setup is called
only once per instance from probe.
- Reframe the patch as a cleanup and drop the Fixes tag.
