Subject: [PATCH 1/3] DEBUGFS: Automatically create parents for debugfs files

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

Allow passing path names to debugfs_create* and automatically create
the parents. This makes it much simpler for the caller to create hierarchies.

The way the reference counts are handled is admittedly a bit ugly.

There is no way to clean them up currently other than to delete the tree,
but that doesn't seem like a big problem for debugfs to leave
behind a few empty directories.
