Jeff Layton 3f94009816 sunrpc: make debugfs file creation failure non-fatal 
v2: gracefully handle the case where some dentry pointers end up NULL
    and be more dilligent about zeroing out dentry pointers

We currently have a problem that SELinux policy is being enforced when
creating debugfs files. If a debugfs file is created as a side effect of
doing some syscall, then that creation can fail if the SELinux policy
for that process prevents it.

This seems wrong. We don't do that for files under /proc, for instance,
so Bruce has proposed a patch to fix that.

While discussing that patch however, Greg K.H. stated:

    "No kernel code should care / fail if a debugfs function fails, so
     please fix up the sunrpc code first."

This patch converts all of the sunrpc debugfs setup code to be void
return functins, and the callers to not look for errors from those
functions.

This should allow rpc_clnt and rpc_xprt creation to work, even if the
kernel fails to create debugfs files for some reason.
