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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

+ * This is the basic "create a file" function for debugfs. It allows for a

+ * 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.
