ACPI: Drop the custom_method debugfs interface
The ACPI custom_method debugfs interface is security-sensitive and concurrent access to it is broken [1]. Moreover, the recipe for preparing a customized version of a given control method has changed at one point due to ACPICA changes, which has not been reflected in its documentation, so whoever used it before has had to adapt an no problems with it have been reported. The latter likely means that the number of its users is limited at best and attempting to fix the issues mentioned above is likely not worth the effort. Moreover, if it gets broken in the process, the breakage may not be readily discovered, so deleting it altogheher appeares to be a better option. Accordingly, drop custom_method along with its (outdated anyway) documentation.
