Directory inodes should start off with i_nlink == 2 (one extra ref for "." entry). debugfs_create_automount() increases neither the i_nlink reference for current inode nor for parent inode.
On attempt to remove the automount dentry, kernel complains:

To reproduce the issue it is enough to invoke these lines:
autom = debugfs_create_automount("automount", NULL, vfsmount_cb, data); BUG_ON(IS_ERR_OR_NULL(autom)); debugfs_remove(autom);
The issue is fixed by increasing inode i_nlink references for current and parent inodes.
