[PATCH] platform/powernv: Avoid re-registration of imc debugfs directory

export_imc_mode_and_cmd() function which creates the debugfs interface for
imc-mode and imc-command, is invoked when each nest pmu units is
registered.
When the first nest pmu unit is registered, export_imc_mode_and_cmd()
creates 'imc' directory under `/debug/powerpc`. In the subsequent
invocations debugfs_create_dir() function returns, since the directory
already exists.
The recent commit <c33d442328f55> (debugfs: make error message a bit more
verbose), throws a warning if we try to invoke `debugfs_create_dir()`
with an already existing directory name.
Address this warning by lookup for an existing 'imc' directory,
and do not invoke debugfs_create_dir(), if the debugfs interface for
imc already exists.
This patch is based on:
