Using DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE macro with the debugfs_create_file()
function adds the overhead of introducing a proxy file operation
functions to wrap the original read/write inside file removal protection
functions. This adds significant overhead in terms of introducing and
managing the proxy factory file operations structure and function
wrapping at runtime.
As a replacement, a combination of DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE macro paired
with debugfs_create_file_unsafe() is suggested to be used instead. The
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE utilises debugfs_file_get() and
debugfs_file_put() wrappers to protect the original read and write
function calls for the debug attributes. There is no need for any
runtime proxy file operations to be managed by the debugfs core.
