Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] char drivers: ramoops debugfs entry

While ramoops writes to ram, accessing the dump requires using /dev/mem
and knowing the memory location (or a similar solution). This patch
provides a debugfs interface through which the respective memory
area can be easily accessed.

The entry added is /sys/kernel/debug/ramoops/next

The entry returns a dump of size record_size each time, skipping invalid
dumps. When it reaches the end of the memory area reserved for dumps it
returns an empty record and resets the current record count.
