Subject: x86/mm/dump_pagetables: Add page table directory to the debugfs VFS hierarchy

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

commit 75298aa179d56cd64f54e58a19fffc8ab922b4c0 upstream.

The upcoming support for dumping the kernel and the user space page tables
of the current process would create more random files in the top level
debugfs directory.

Add a page table directory and move the existing file to it.
