This patch refactors the arm page table dumping code,
so multiple tables may be registered with the framework.

This patch refers below commits of arm64.
(4674fdb9f149 ("arm64: mm: dump: make page table dumping reusable"))
(4ddb9bf83349 ("arm64: dump: Make ptdump debugfs a separate option"))

Is this #ifdef needed? I think this file is only included in dump.c
and ptdump_debugfs.c, both of which are only built when
CONFIG_ARM_PTDUMP_CORE is defined.

This changes the return value of ptdump_init. This should do similar
to what was done before:

return ptdump_debugfs_register(&kernel_ptdump_info,
"kernel_page_tables") ? 0 : -ENOMEM;

Looking at next patch in this patch-set series ([PATCH v3 3/3] arm:
mm: dump: add checking for writable and executable pages),
Not only dump.c and ptdump_debugfs.c but also arch/arm/mm/init.c
include this file (ptdump.h) to call debug_checkwx().
mm/init.c is not built only when CONFIG_ARM_PTDUMP_CORE is defined.
So, This #ifdef seems not be needed for this patch, but is needed for
this patch-set series.

ptdump_debugfs_register() already returns what you think.

So "return ptdump_debugfs_register(~~)" is fine.


Thanks.

Ah! Yes, I totally missed the change from create_file to
debugfs_register. Sorry for the noise!
