Perhaps, you can use list_for_each_entry_safe_continue() here, as below.

parent = dentry;
down:
child = list_first_entry_or_null(&parent->d_subdirs,
typeof(*child), d_u.d_child);
mutex_lock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex);

restart:
list_for_each_entry_safe_continue(child, next, &parent->d_subdirs, d_u.d_child) {

Then, you can avoid jumping into the loop, just restart it from
parent as below.

mutex_unlock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex);

child = parent;
parent = parent->d_parent;
mutex_lock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex);
__debugfs_remove(child, parent);

if (child != dentry)
goto restart;

It's just an idea, which came up to my mind. :)

Thank you,
