[PATCH v1 05/13] kho: Always expose output FDT in debugfs

Currently, the output FDT is added to debugfs only when KHO is
finalized and removed when aborted.

There is no need to hide the FDT based on the state. Always expose it
starting from initialization. This aids the transition toward removing
the explicit abort functionality and converting KHO to be fully
stateless.

Also, pre-zero the FDT tree so we do not expose random bits to the
user and to the next kernel.
