From: Calvin Owens <calvinowens@fb.com>

While the maximum size of each ramdisk is defined either
as a module parameter, or compile time default, it's impossible
to know how many pages have currently been allocated by each
ram%d device, since they're allocated when used and never freed.

This patch creates a new directory at this location:

»       /sys/kernel/debug/ramdisk_pages/

...which will contain a file named "ram%d" for each instantiated
ramdisk on the system. The file is read-only, and read() will
output the number of pages currently held by that ramdisk.

Justification : We lose track how much memory a ramdisk is using as
pages once used are simply recycled but never freed.

In instances where we exhaust the size of the ramdisk with a file that
exceeds it, encounter ENOSPC and delete the file for mitigation;
df would show decrease in used and increase in available blocks
but the since we have touched all pages, the memory footprint of the
ramdisk does not reflect the blocks used/available count

This debugfs counter will always reveal the accurate number of
permanently allocated pages to the ramdisk.

I folded in the justification and applied it for 5.13, thanks.

While the maximum size of each ramdisk is defined either
as a module parameter, or compile time default, it's impossible
to know how many pages have currently been allocated by each
ram%d device, since they're allocated when used and never freed.

This patch creates a new directory at this location:

	/sys/kernel/debug/ramdisk_pages/

...which will contain a file named "ram%d" for each instantiated
ramdisk on the system. The file is read-only, and read() will
output the number of pages currently held by that ramdisk.
