Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: New debugfs interface for creation of files, directory and symlinks

As we know the current debugfs file or directory or symlink creation
doesn't return proper error codes to the caller on failure. Because 
of this caller and user could not able to find the exact reason of
the failure.

As Andrew Morton suggested (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg33617.html)
introduced new debugfs interface to create debugfs entries. Newer APIs 
returns proper error codes(ERR_PTR) on failure. Since fixing older 
APIs will break the existing debugfs layer (because the API's used 
in 100s of places, first we must address all those caller code before 
fixing the debugfs creation API's. Instead of that, creating newer interface
and migrating to newer interface is much simpler).

And also added read only and write only support for x64 and u64.

New Debug FS API
-----------------

debugfs_file_create
debugfs_dir_create
debugfs_symlink_create
debugfs_u8_create
debugfs_u16_create
debugfs_u32_create
debugfs_u64_create
debugfs_x8_create
debugfs_x16_create
debugfs_x32_create
debugfs_x64_create
debugfs_size_t_create
debugfs_bool_create
debugfs_blob_create
debugfs_regset32_create

All new debug fs APIs returns pointer to an error (ERR_PTR). Once
everyone migrated to new ones we can remove the older ones.

Note : 1) old debugfs API names "debugfs_X_Y" changed to "debugfs_Y_X".
       2) No change in the arguments passed

For Example : 
            OLD API:    debugfs_create_file
            NEW API:    debugfs_file_create

I had tested and verified all new APIs and it is working fine.
