4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tom Hughes <tom@compton.nu>

commit 4479004e6409087d1b4986881dc98c6c15dffb28 upstream.

If we don't do this, and we then fail to recreate the debugfs
directory during a mode change, then we will fail later trying
to add stations to this now bogus directory:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000006c
