[PATCH] debugfs: Add mount restriction option

[Peter Enderborg <peter.enderborg@sony.com>]

Since debugfs include sensitive information it need to be treated
carefully. But it also has many very useful debug functions for userspace.
With this option we can have same configuration for system with
need of debugfs and a way to turn it off. It is needed new
kernel command line parameter to be activated.
