Mika Penttilä 85649ed9d4 debugfs: fix error when writing negative value to atomic_t debugfs file
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-1349
Upstream Status: v6.2-rc1

    The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
    488dac0c92 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
    simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
    negative value for a debugfs file created by debugfs_create_atomic_t().

    This restores the previous behaviour by introducing
    DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.
