[PATCH] debugfs: Add debugfs_create_blob() helper for exporting binary data 

I wanted to export a binary blob via debugfs, and although it was pretty easy
it seems like it'd be easier if there was a helper for it. It's a pity we need
the wrapper struct but I can't see a cleaner way to do it.

* debugfs_create_blob - create a file in the debugfs filesystem that is
* used to read and write a binary blob.
*
* @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 paramater is NULL, then the
* file will be created in the root of the debugfs filesystem.
* @blob: a pointer to a struct debugfs_blob_wrapper which contains a pointer
* to the blob data and the size of the data.
*
* This function creates a file in debugfs with the given name that exports
* @blob->data as a binary blob. If the @mode variable is so set it can be
* read from. Writing is not supported.
*
* 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. It is not wise to check for this value, but rather, check for
* NULL or !NULL instead as to eliminate the need for #ifdef in the calling
* code.
