Punit Agrawal 848f1f00c6 kprobes: Do not use local variable when creating debugfs file 
[ Upstream commit 8f7262cd66 ]

debugfs_create_file() takes a pointer argument that can be used during
file operation callbacks (accessible via i_private in the inode
structure). An obvious requirement is for the pointer to refer to
valid memory when used.

When creating the debugfs file to dynamically enable / disable
kprobes, a pointer to local variable is passed to
debugfs_create_file(); which will go out of scope when the init
function returns. The reason this hasn't triggered random memory
corruption is because the pointer is not accessed during the debugfs
file callbacks.

Since the enabled state is managed by the kprobes_all_disabled global
variable, the local variable is not needed. Fix the incorrect (and
unnecessary) usage of local variable during debugfs_file_create() by
passing NULL instead.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
