I think the safest approach would be to reimplement
debugfs_remove_recursive() using only debugfs_remove().  It would only
use the debugfs internals to find the children.  I would even avoid
looking for siblings.

The idea is to descend the directory structure from the top (i.e. the
directory to be removed) to look for a child that is a file or an empty
directory and remove it.  Then start from the top and do the same until
the top directory has no children.  Then remove the top directory.
