If pm_genpd hasn't been created yet,  debugfs_lookup("pm_genpd", NULL)
will return null.
If genpd->name also exists under root debugfs, it will still be
deleted unintentionally, since NULL represents root debugfs.
Eg. one of the genpd->name is "usb", which is supposed to be added as
/sys/kernel/debug/pm_genpd/usb later. But pm_genpd is not yet created,
/sys/kernel/debug/usb will be removed.
