Hi,
This patch kills the pointless debugfs rmdir() printk() when called on a
non-empty directory. blktrace will sometimes have to call it a few times
when forcefully ending a trace, which polutes the log with pointless
warnings.
Rationale:
- It's more code to work-around this "problem" in the debugfs users, and
you would have to add code to check for empty directories to do so (or
assume that debugfs is using simple_ helpers, but that would be a
layering violation).
- Other rmdir() implementations don't complain about something this
silly.
