debugobjects: Make debug_object_activate() return status

In order to better respond to things like duplicate invocations
of call_rcu(), RCU needs to see the status of a call to
debug_object_activate().  This would allow RCU to leak the callback in
order to avoid adding freelist-reuse mischief to the duplicate invoations.
This commit therefore makes debug_object_activate() return status,
zero for success and -EINVAL for failure.
