Setting fops and private data outside of the mutex at debugfs file
creation introduces a race where the files can be opened with the wrong
file operations and private data.  It is easy to trigger with a process
waiting on file creation notification.

In many SoC implementations there are hardware registers can be read or
write only.  This extends the debugfs to enforce the file permissions for
these types of registers by providing a set of fops which are read or
write only.  This assumes that the kernel developer knows more about the
hardware than the user (even root users) -- which is normally true.

debugfs: dont stop on first failed recursive delete

While running a while loop of removing a module that removes a debugfs
directory with debugfs_remove_recursive, and at the same time doing a
while loop of cat of a file in that directory, I would hit a point where
somehow the cat of the file caused the remove to fail.

The result is that other files did not get removed when the module
was removed. I simple read of one of those file can oops the kernel
because the operations to the file no longer exist (removed by module).

The funny thing is that the file being cat'ed was removed. It was
the siblings that were not. I see in the code to debugfs_remove_recursive
there's a test that checks if the child fails to bail out of the loop
to prevent an infinite loop.

What this patch does is to still try any siblings in that directory.
If all the siblings fail, or there are no more siblings, then we exit
the loop.

This fixes the above symptom, but...

This is no full proof. It makes the debugfs_remove_recursive a bit more
robust, but it does not explain why the one file failed. There may
be some kind of delay deletion that makes the debugfs think it did
not succeed. So this patch is more of a fix for the symptom but not
the disease.

This patch still makes the debugfs_remove_recursive more robust and
until I can find out why the bug exists, this patch will keep
the kernel from oopsing in most cases.  Even after the cause is found
I think this change can stand on its own and should be kept.

[ Impact: prevent kernel oops on module unload and reading debugfs files ]

Impact: add new debugfs API

With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
really more easy.

In the same spirit as debugfs_create_*(), introduce helpers for
exporting size_t values over debugfs.

The only trick done is that the format verifier is kept at %llu
instead of %zu; otherwise type warnings would pop up:

format ‘%zu’ expects type ‘size_t’, but argument 2 has type ‘long long unsigned int’

There is no real way to fix this one--however, we can consider %llu
and %zu to be compatible if we consider that we are using the same for
validating in debugfs_create_{x,u}{8,16,32}().

... and don't bother in callers.  Don't bother with zeroing i_blocks,
while we are at it - it's already been zeroed.

i_mode is not worth the effort; it has no common default value.

Discussion on the mailing list questioned the use of these
magic values in userspace, concluding these values are already
exported to userspace via statfs and their correct/incorrect
usage is left up to the userspace application.

  - Move special fs magic number definitions to magic.h
  - Add magic.h include
