Subject: [PATCH 2/5] debugfs: function to know if debugfs is initialized

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.
