kernel/kcov: unproxify debugfs file's fops
Since commit 49d200de ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files' private data"), a debugfs file's file_operations methods get proxied through lifetime aware wrappers. However, only a certain subset of the file_operations members is supported by debugfs and ->mmap isn't among them -- it appears to be NULL from the VFS layer's perspective. This behaviour breaks the /sys/kernel/debug/kcov file introduced concurrently with commit 5c9a8750 ("kernel: add kcov code coverage"). Since that file never gets removed, there is no file removal race and thus, a lifetime checking proxy isn't needed. Avoid the proxying for /sys/kernel/debug/kcov by creating it via debugfs_create_file_unsafe() rather than debugfs_create_file().
