commit 1c86a188e03156223a34d09ce290b49bd4dd0403 upstream.
The variable kfence_metadata is initialized in kfence_init_pool(), then, it is not initialized if kfence is disabled after booting. In this case, kfence_metadata will be used (e.g. ->lock and ->state fields) without initialization when reading /sys/kernel/debug/kfence/objects. There will be a warning if you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK. Fix it by creating debugfs files when necessary.
