debugfs: Fix filesystem reference counting on debugfs_remove() failure
When __debugfs_remove() fails (because simple_rmdir() fails e.g. when a directory is not empty), we must not decrement use count of the filesystem as nothing was in fact deleted. This fixes use after free caused by debugfs in some cases. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
