drm/i915/gvt: Avoid full proxy f_ops for debugfs attributes
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.
