Johannes Berg c455b17aff debugfs: fix automount d_fsdata usage
[ Upstream commit 0ed04a1847 ]

debugfs_create_automount() stores a function pointer in d_fsdata,
but since commit 7c8d469877 ("debugfs: add support for more
elaborate ->d_fsdata") debugfs_release_dentry() will free it, now
conditionally on DEBUGFS_FSDATA_IS_REAL_FOPS_BIT, but that's not
set for the function pointer in automount. As a result, removing
an automount dentry would attempt to free the function pointer.
Luckily, the only user of this (tracing) never removes it.

Nevertheless, it's safer if we just handle the fsdata in one way,
namely either DEBUGFS_FSDATA_IS_REAL_FOPS_BIT or allocated. Thus,
change the automount to allocate it, and use the real_fops in the
data to indicate whether or not automount is filled, rather than
adding a type tag. At least for now this isn't actually needed,
but the next changes will require it.

Also check in debugfs_file_get() that it gets only called
on regular files, just to make things clearer.
