[v6,2/4] fs: debugfs: Add write functionality to debugfs blobs

Commit Message

From: Avadhut Naik <[e-mail]>

Currently, debugfs_create_blob() creates read-only debugfs binary blob
files.

In some cases, however, userspace tools need to write variable length
data structures into predetermined memory addresses. An example is when
injecting Vendor-defined error types through the einj module. In such
cases, the functionality to write to these blob files in debugfs would
be desired since the mapping aspect can be handled within the modules
with userspace tools only needing to write into the blob files.

Implement a write callback to enable writing to these blob files, created
in debugfs, by owners only.
