kernel/panic.c:561:0-23: WARNING: clear_warn_once_fops should be defined with DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE

 Use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE rather than DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE
 for debugfs files.

Semantic patch information:
 Rationale: DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE + debugfs_create_file()
 imposes some significant overhead as compared to
 DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE + debugfs_create_file_unsafe().

Generated by: scripts/coccinelle/api/debugfs/debugfs_simple_attr.cocci
