Revert "debugfs, coccinelle: check for obsolete DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() usage"

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 5103068e.
