Currently, debugfs_create_str() only supports reading strings from
debugfs. Add support for writing them as well.

Based on original implementation by Peter Zijlstra [0]. Write support
was present in the initial patch version, but dropped in v2 due to lack
of users. We have a user now, so reintroduce it.

Hi Greg,

Looks like the original code was reviewed two years ago (not sure if it
counts). But in any case, i need an ack from you to apply this.

There is no build dependency with the rest of the patches (but there is a
functional one). It should be also fine if you apply it directly, if you
prefer so?

Thanks,
Georgi
