Subject: [PATCH 08/10] oprofile: set values to default when creating oprofilefs

This patch restores default values for:

/dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
/dev/oprofile/buffer_watershed
/dev/oprofile/buffer_size

when creating the oprofilefs:

 # opcontrol --deinit
 # opcontrol --init
 # cat /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 8192
 # echo 5123 > /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 # cat /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 5123
 # opcontrol --deinit
 # opcontrol --init
 # cat /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 8192
 # opcontrol --deinit

This sets the values in a defined state. Before, there was no way to
restore the defaults without rebooting the system or reloading the
module.
