Your commit message needs to mention all the other changes you made,
especially the bug fix.  I feel like you're doing too many changes
really.  Just use the gotos to clean up but don't re-order the calls.

You need to add a Fixes tag.

Keep the init calls the same.  Re-order the exit calls.  It's a bit of
a gray area if you can re-order the exit calls in this same patch.  Do
it in a separate patch just to be safe.

No.  This is wrong.  Debugfs function are not supposed to be checked.

I like this cleanup, but it's not worth the effort.  Just leave it
as-is unless you really really need to change it.  Do it in a separate
patch.

What qualifies as One Thing Per Patch is a bit of gray area.  Greg tends
to want things split up into tiny patches.  You have to know your
maintainer.
