kmemleak: always register debugfs file
If kmemleak built in to the kernel, but is disabled by default, the debugfs file is never registered. Because of this, it is not possible to find out if the kernel is built with kmemleak support by checking for the presence of this file. To allow this, always register the file. After this patch, if the file doesn't exist, kmemleak is not available in the kernel. If writing "scan" or any other value than "clear" to this file results in EBUSY, then kmemleak is available but is disabled by default and can be activated via the kernel command line. Catalin: "that's also consistent with a late disabling of kmemleak when the debugfs entry sticks around."
