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.
