Looks OK to me.

The commit message probably can be better.

The _unsafe() part suggests that some of them "safeness responsibilities"
are now panic.c responsibilities. The patch is OK since panic's
clear_warn_once_fops struct file_operations is safe against removal, so we
don't have to use otherwise necessary debugfs_file_get()/debugfs_file_put().
