DAMON debugfs interface was the only user interface of DAMON at the beginning[1]. However, it turned out the interface would be not good enough for long-term flexibility and stability. In Feb 2022[2], we therefore introduced DAMON sysfs interface as an alternative user interface that aims long-term flexibility and stability. With its introduction, DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be deprecated in near future. In Feb 2023[3], we announced the official deprecation of DAMON debugfs interface. In Jan 2024[4], we further made the deprecation difficult to be ignored. And as of this writing (2024-10-14), no problem or concerns about the deprecation have reported. Apparently users are already moved to the alternative, or made good plans for the change. Remove the DAMON debugfs interface code from the tree. Given the past timeline and the absence of reported problems or concerns, it is safe enough to be done. That said, we will not drop the RFC tag of this patch series at least until the end of this year, to use this as the real last call for users.
