[RFC PATCH v2 6/9] debugfs: purge obsolete SRCU based removal protection

[Nicolai Stange]

Purge the SRCU based file removal race protection in favour of the new,
refcount based debugfs_file_get()/debugfs_file_put() API.

Fixes: 49d200deaa68 ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files' private
                      data")
