[PATCH 1/3] DEBUGFS: Automatically create parents for debugfs files v2

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.

v2: Comment fixes based on review comments.
v3: satisfy the kernel community's white space obsession.
