Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] debugfs: Add write support to debugfs_create_str()

Currently, debugfs_create_str() only supports reading strings from
debugfs. Add support for writing them as well.

Based on original implementation by Peter Zijlstra [0]. Write support
was present in the initial patch version, but dropped in v2 due to lack
of users. We have a user now, so reintroduce it.
