pstore: Create a convenient mount point for pstore
Using /dev/pstore as a mount point for the pstore filesystem is slightly awkward. We don't normally mount filesystems in /dev/ and the /dev/pstore file isn't created automatically by anything. While this method will still work, we can create a persistent mount point in sysfs. This will put pstore on par with things like cgroups and efivarfs.
