Jack Morgenstein 5df816e7f4 net/mlx5: Fix debugfs cleanup in the device init/remove flow
When initializing the device (procedure init_one), the driver
calls mlx5_pci_init to perform pci initialization. As part of this
initialization, mlx5_pci_init creates a debugfs directory.
If this creation fails, init_one aborts, returning failure to
the caller (which is the probe method caller).

The main reason for such a failure to occur is if the debugfs
directory already exists. This can happen if the last time
mlx5_pci_close was called, debugfs_remove (silently) failed due
to the debugfs directory not being empty.

Guarantee that such a debugfs_remove failure will not occur by
instead calling debugfs_remove_recursive in procedure mlx5_pci_close.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
