debugfs: Add debugfs_create_xul() for hexadecimal unsigned long

Browse Source 
The existing debugfs_create_ulong() function supports objects of
type "unsigned long", which are 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the
platform, in decimal form.  To format objects in hexadecimal, various
debugfs_create_x*() functions exist, but all of them take fixed-size
types.

Add a debugfs helper for "unsigned long" objects in hexadecimal format.
This avoids the need for users to open-code the same, or introduce
bugs when casting the value pointer to "u32 *" or "u64 *" to call
debugfs_create_x{32,64}().

As might be expected, this function will create a debugfs file to represent
a variable of type size_t.
Similarly, there is a helper for variables of type unsigned long:
Similarly, there are helpers for variables of type unsigned long, in decimal
