[ Upstream commit 0ed04a1847a10297595ac24dc7d46b35fb35f90a ]

debugfs_create_automount() stores a function pointer in d_fsdata,
but since commit 7c8d469877b1 ("debugfs: add support for more
elaborate -&gt;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.

[ Upstream commit d472cf797c4e268613dbce5ec9b95d0bcae19ecb ]

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value for a debugfs file created by debugfs_create_atomic_t().

This restores the previous behaviour by introducing
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

When the kernel is locked down the kernel allows reading only debugfs
files with mode 444. Mode 400 is also valid but is not allowed.

Make the 444 into a mask.

<title>debugfs: Return error during {full/open}_proxy_open() on rmmod</title>

If a kernel module gets unloaded then it printed report about a leak before
commit 275678e7a9be ("debugfs: Check module state before warning in
{full/open}_proxy_open()"). An additional check was added in this commit to
avoid this printing. But it was forgotten that the function must return an
error in this case because it was not actually opened.

As result, the systems started to crash or to hang when a module was
unloaded while something was trying to open a file.

Blobs can only be read. So, keep only 'read' file attributes because the
others will not work and only confuse users.
