bdi: Fix use after free bug in debugfs_remove()
syzbot is reporting use after free bug in debugfs_remove() [1]. This is because fault injection made memory allocation for debugfs_create_file() from bdi_debug_register() from bdi_register_va() fail and continued with setting WB_registered. But when debugfs_remove() is called from debugfs_remove(bdi->debug_dir) from bdi_debug_unregister() from bdi_unregister() from release_bdi() because WB_registered was set by bdi_register_va(), IS_ERR_OR_NULL(bdi->debug_dir) == false despite debugfs_remove(bdi->debug_dir) was already called from bdi_register_va(). Fix this by making IS_ERR_OR_NULL(bdi->debug_dir) == true.
