Remove coccinelle's recommendation to use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() instead of DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE(). Regardless of whether or not the "significant overhead" incurred by debugfs_create_file() is actually meaningful, warnings from the script have led to a rash of low-quality patches that have sowed confusion and consumed maintainer time for little to no benefit. There have been no less than four attempts to "fix" KVM, and a quick search on lore shows that KVM is not alone. This reverts commit 5103068eaca290f890a30aae70085fac44cecaf6.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
