That said, I'm not even sure if these attributes would qualify for
debugfs_create_file_unsafe() since there's really no protection against
removal.

Overall that cocci seems a bit misleading in that it makes these changes
seem like trivial conversions. Only converting DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE()
to DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() is basically a noop, except that debugfs
has a little more overhead (for example debugfs_attr_read() wraps
simple_attr_read()), so I'm not sure if that's worth doing on its own.
