Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/debug: Put sched/domains files under the verbose flag

The debug files under sched/domains can take a long time to regenerate,
especially when updates are done one at a time. Move these files under
the sched verbose debug flag. Allow changes to verbose to trigger
generation of the files. This lets a user batch the updates but still
have the information available.  The detailed topology printk messages
are also under verbose.

Discussion that lead to this approach can be found in the link below.

Simplified code to maintain use of debugfs bool routines suggested by
Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>.
