Subject: [PATCH] JBD2: Change debug file path

The jbd2-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd2-debug, but
create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names with more that one
directory deep.  This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no proc
file is created.  This patch moves the file to /proc/jbd2-degug.

The file could be move to /proc/fs/jbd2/jbd2-debug, but it would require
some minor alterations to the jbd-stats patch.

This is also broken on the original jbd code.
