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.

-          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.
