debugfs: add support for self-protecting attribute file fops
In order to protect them against file removal issues, debugfs_create_file()
creates a lifetime managing proxy around each struct file_operations
handed in.
In cases where this struct file_operations is able to manage file lifetime
by itself already, the proxy created by debugfs is a waste of resources.
The most common class of struct file_operations given to debugfs are those
defined by means of the DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() macro.
Introduce a DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() macro to allow any
struct file_operations of this class to be easily made file lifetime aware
and thus, to be operated unproxied.
Specifically, introduce debugfs_attr_read() and debugfs_attr_write()
which wrap simple_attr_read() and simple_attr_write() under the protection
of a debugfs_use_file_start()/debugfs_use_file_finish() pair.
Make DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() set the defined struct file_operations'
->read() and ->write() members to these wrappers.
Export debugfs_create_file_unsafe() in order to allow debugfs users to
create their files in non-proxying operation mode.
