mm: kfence: fix using kfence_metadata without initialization in show_object()

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.
