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

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.

+ *          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

+ * @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.
