USB: remove CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS
This option has been deprecated for many years now, and no userspace tools use it anymore, so it should be safe to finally remove it. Reported-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

- ---help---
- If you say Y here (and to "/proc file system support" in the "File
- systems" section, above), you will get a file /proc/bus/usb/devices
- which lists the devices currently connected to your USB bus or
- busses, and for every connected device a file named
- "/proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the bus number and yyy the
- device number; the latter files can be used by user space programs
- to talk directly to the device. These files are "virtual", meaning
- they are generated on the fly and not stored on the hard drive.
-
- You may need to mount the usbfs file system to see the files, use
- mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
-
- For the format of the various /proc/bus/usb/ files, please read
- <file:Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt>.
-
- Modern Linux systems do not use this.
-
- Usbfs entries are files and not character devices; usbfs can't
- handle Access Control Lists (ACL) which are the default way to
- grant access to USB devices for untrusted users of a desktop
- system.
-
- The usbfs functionality is replaced by real device-nodes managed by
- udev. These nodes lived in /dev/bus/usb and are used by libusb.
