Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: fix sparse warnings

extern does not belong in C files, move declaration to linux/debugfs.h
fs/debugfs/file.c:42:30: warning: symbol 'debugfs_file_operations' was not declared. Should it be static?
fs/debugfs/file.c:54:31: warning: symbol 'debugfs_link_operations' was not declared. Should it be static?
