[PATCH next-lockdown 1/1] debugfs: avoid EPERM when no open file operation defined

With "debugfs: Restrict debugfs when the kernel is locked down"
return code "r" is unconditionally set to -EPERM, which stays like that
until function return if no "open" file operation defined, effectivelly
resulting in "Operation not permitted" for all such files despite kernel
lock down status or CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL being enabled.

In particular this breaks 2 debugfs files on s390:
/sys/kernel/debug/s390_hypfs/diag_304
/sys/kernel/debug/s390_hypfs/diag_204

To address that set EPERM return code only when debugfs_is_locked_down
returns true.
