[PATCH v2] debugfs: inode: debugfs_create_dir uses mode permission from parent

[Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com>]

Currently function debugfs_create_dir() creates a new
directory in the debugfs (usually mounted /sys/kernel/debug)
with permission rwxr-xr-x. This is hard coded.

Change this to use the parent directory permission.
