debugfs: Provide a file creation function that also takes an initial size

Browse Source 
Provide a file creation function that also takes an initial size so that the
caller doesn't have to set i_size, thus meaning that we don't have to call
deal with ->d_inode in the callers.

* debugfs_create_file_size - create a file in the debugfs filesystem
* @name: a pointer to a string containing the name of the file to create.
* @mode: the permission that the file should have.
* @parent: a pointer to the parent dentry for this file. This should be a
* directory dentry if set. If this parameter is NULL, then the
* file will be created in the root of the debugfs filesystem.
* @data: a pointer to something that the caller will want to get to later
* on. The inode.i_private pointer will point to this value on
* the open() call.
* @fops: a pointer to a struct file_operations that should be used for
* this file.
* @file_size: initial file size
*
* This is the basic "create a file" function for debugfs. It allows for a
* wide range of flexibility in creating a file, or a directory (if you want
* to create a directory, the debugfs_create_dir() function is
* recommended to be used instead.)
*
* This function will return a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This
* pointer must be passed to the debugfs_remove() function when the file is
* to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded,
* you are responsible here.) If an error occurs, %NULL will be returned.
*
* If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -%ENODEV will be
* returned.
