net/mlx5: Don't fail driver on failure to create debugfs
Clang warns:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c:1278:6: warning: variable
'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!priv->dbg_root) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c:1303:9: note:
uninitialized use occurs here
return err;
^~~
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c:1278:2: note: remove the
'if' if its condition is always false
if (!priv->dbg_root) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the variable 'err' to silence this warning
int err;

The check of returned value of debugfs_create_dir() is wrong because
by the design debugfs failures should never fail the driver and the
check itself was wrong too. The kernel compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
will return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and not NULL as expected.
