debugfs: separate cache for debugfs inodes

JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-78931

commit 268b361
Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2025 08:06:45 +0000

  Embed them into container (struct debugfs_inode_info, with nothing
  else in it at the moment), set the cache up, etc.

  Just the infrastructure changes letting us augment debugfs inodes
  here; adding stuff will come at the next step.
