Agreed. The following incremental patch removes sysfs support.

Subject: [PATCH v4 4/3] badblocks: remove support for clearing via sysfs
sysfs support for clearing badblocks was originally meant for testing
only. With the move to generalize the interface, remove this support so
that userspace doesn't start treating this as an ABI.
