Subject: debugfs: rename start_creating() to debugfs_start_creating()
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0a2c70594704b199849e8add59263fc98e057a63;p=users%2Fhch%2Fmisc.git

debugfs: rename start_creating() to debugfs_start_creating()

start_creating() is a generic name which I would like to use for a
function similar to simple_start_creating(), only not quite so simple.

debugfs is using this name which, though static, will cause complaints
if then name is given a different signature in a header file.

So rename it to debugfs_start_creating().
