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

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

From: Fan Wu <redacted>

[ Upstream commit fe5c16bb6252dea6025b748257ddc3b2665495b0 ]

c4iw_alloc() creates the per-device debugfs tree (dev->debugfs_root via
setup_debugfs()), but it is removed only in c4iw_remove(), not in
c4iw_dealloc().  When RDMA device registration fails, the registration
worker's err_dealloc_ctx path calls c4iw_dealloc() directly, bypassing
c4iw_remove(), so the debugfs dentries leak and outlive the freed
c4iw_dev.

Move debugfs_remove_recursive() into c4iw_dealloc() so every path that
frees ctx->dev also removes its debugfs tree.

Fixes: 49ea0c036ede ("RDMA/iw_cxgb4: cleanup device debugfs entries on ULD remove")
