[PATCH v2 5/7] libfs: add file creation functions

[Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito]

A bunch of code is duplicated between debugfs and tracefs, unify it to the
libfs library.

The code is very similar, except that dentry and inode creation are unified
into a single function (unlike start_creating in debugfs and tracefs, which
only takes care of dentries).  This adds an output parameter to the
creation functions, but pushes all error recovery into fs/libfs.c.
