Move the __acquires(..) attribute after the declaration, so that the
compiler can see the cancellation function argument, as well as making
struct debugfs_cancellation a real context lock to benefit from Clang's
context analysis.

This change is a preparatory change to allow enabling context analysis
in subsystems that include the above header.
