[PATCH v2 1/3] interconnect: debugfs: replace writable string helper

Message-ID <[email protected]>
debugfs_create_str() is being made read-only because its generic write path
is hard to make safe without adding more locking to the helper.

Convert the interconnect debugfs client src_node and dst_node entries to
local file operations before removing writable string support from
debugfs_create_str().  Protect the string replacement and path lookup with
the existing debugfs_lock.
