Subject: [PATCH 5.4 049/260] dma-debug: fix debugfs initialization order

From: Anthony Iliopoulos <ailiop@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 173735c346c412d9f084825ecb04f24ada0e2986 ]

Due to link order, dma_debug_init is called before debugfs has a chance
to initialize (via debugfs_init which also happens in the core initcall
stage), so the directories for dma-debug are never created.

Decouple dma_debug_fs_init from dma_debug_init and defer its init until
core_initcall_sync (after debugfs has been initialized) while letting
dma-debug initialization occur as soon as possible to catch any early
mappings, as suggested in [1].
