The callback function dma_buf_describe() returns an int not void so the
function pointer cast in dma_buf_show() is wrong. dma_buf_describe() can
also fail when acquiring the mutex gets interrupted so always returning
0 in dma_buf_show() is wrong, too.

Fix both issues by casting the function pointer to the correct type and
propagate its return value.

This type mismatch was caught by the PaX RAP plugin.

Probably even better to just nuke that indirection. Set this pointer to
NULL and inline dma_buf_describe into dma_buf_show.

Even further, we can get rid of dma_buf_debugfs_create_file() too as
it's only used to create this indirection.
I'll send a v2 just doing that.

Thanks,
Mathias
