Update the debugfs documentation to indicate that debugfs_remove() should be used to clean up debugfs entries. In commit a3d1e7eb5abe ("simple_recursive_removal(): kernel-side rm -rf for ramfs-style filesystems"), function debugfs_remove_recursive() was made into an alias for debugfs_remove(): #define debugfs_remove_recursive debugfs_remove Therefore, drivers should just use debugfs_remove() going forward.
