I'll preface my comments by saying that how code gets structured
into files is always a bit of a judgment call.  The goal is to group code
into sensible chunks to make it easy to understand and to make it
easy to modify and extend later.  The latter is a prediction about the
future, which may or may not be accurate.   For the former, what's
"easy to understand," is often in the eye of the beholder.  So you may
get different opinions from different reviewers.

That said, I like the idea of a separate hv_debugfs.c file to contain
the implementation of the various functions you have added to
provide the fuzzing capability.   I'm less convinced about the value
of a separate hyperv_debugfs.h file.   I think you have one big
#ifdef CONFIG_HYPERV_TESTING followed by the declarations of
the functions in hv_debugfs.c, followed by #else and null
implementations of those functions.  This is 20 lines of code or so,
and could easily go in hyperv_vmbus.h.

For the new hv_debugfs.c, you can avoid the need for
#ifdef CONFIG_HYPERV_TESTING by modifying the Makefile in
drivers/hv so that hv_debugfs.o is built only if CONFIG_HYPERV_TESTING
is defined.  Look at the current Makefile to see how this is done
with CONFIG_HYPERV_UTILS and CONFIG_HYPERV_BALLOON.
