debugfs: Add debugfs_create_xul() for hexadecimal unsigned long

The existing debugfs_create_ulong() function supports objects of
type "unsigned long", which are 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the
platform, in decimal form.  To format objects in hexadecimal, various
debugfs_create_x*() functions exist, but all of them take fixed-size
types.

Add a debugfs helper for "unsigned long" objects in hexadecimal format.
This avoids the need for users to open-code the same, or introduce
bugs when casting the value pointer to "u32 *" or "u64 *" to call
debugfs_create_x{32,64}().
