kernel/kcov: unproxify debugfs file's fops

Since commit 1bd0461ba316 ("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 78d0c5419c6d ("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().

Fixes: 1bd0461ba316 ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files' private data")
Fixes: 78d0c5419c6d ("kernel: add kcov code coverage")
