Without ".owner = THIS_MODULE" it is possible to crash the kernel
by unloading the Orangefs module while someone is reading debugfs
files.

We recently refactored the Orangefs debugfs code.
The refactor seemed to trigger dan.carpenter@oracle.com's
static tester to find a possible double-free in the code.
While designing the fix we saw a condition under which the
buffer being freed could also be overflowed.
We also realized how to rebuild the related debugfs file's
"contents" (a string) without deleting and re-creating the file.
This fix should eliminate the possible double-free, the
potential overflow and improve code readability.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Assorted misc bits and pieces.
There are several single-topic branches left after this (rename2
series from Miklos, current_time series from Deepa Dinamani, xattr
series from Andreas, uaccess stuff from from me) and I'd prefer to
send those separately"

Mostly this is moving code into orangefs-debugfs.c so that globals turn
into static globals.
Then gossip_debug_mask is renamed orangefs_gossip_debug_mask but keeps
global visibility, so it can be used from a macro.

fs/orangefs/orangefs-debugfs.c:130:2-26: WARNING: NULL check before freeing functions like kfree, debugfs_remove, debugfs_remove_recursive or usb_free_urb is not needed. Maybe consider reorganizing relevant code to avoid passing NULL values.
NULL check before some freeing functions is not needed.
Based on checkpatch warning
"kfree(NULL) is safe this check is probably not required"
and kfreeaddr.cocci by Julia Lawall.

This is an API consolidation only. The use of kmalloc + memset to 0
should be equivalent to kzalloc in this case.
