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.
