This just looks like a bug that S_IFREG was passed in the "mode" argument.

Your change in part 2 doesn't really affect much here.

debugfs_create_blob()
debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
__debugfs_create_file()

which does:

if (!(mode & S_IFMT))
mode |= S_IFREG;
BUG_ON(!S_ISREG(mode));

So this is a fine cleanup. But your patch description about ensuring that
the file remains read-only isn't accurate. Your change didn't affect the mode
of this file.
