[PATCH] xen/debugfs: Check debugfs initialization before using it

From: ethan.zhao
Date: Sun Dec 08 2013 - 06:32:48 EST


Should check debugfs initialization with debugfs_initialized() before using it,
Because if it isn't initialized, the return value of fake debugfs_create_dir() etc
functions would be ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), checking with NULL will not work.
