Jim Cromie e20e310c81 dyndbg-docs: eschew file /full/path query in docs 
Regarding:
commit 2b6783191d ("dynamic_debug: add trim_prefix() to provide source-root relative paths")
commit a73619a845 ("kbuild: use -fmacro-prefix-map to make __FILE__ a relative path")

2nd commit broke dynamic-debug's "file $fullpath" query form, but
nobody noticed because 1st commit had trimmed prefixes from
control-file output, so the click-copy-pasting of fullpaths into new
queries had ceased; that query form became unused.

Removing the function is cleanest, but it could be useful in
old-compiler corner cases, where __FILE__ still has /full/path,
and it safely does nothing otherwize.

So instead, quietly deprecate "file /full/path" query form, by
removing all /full/paths examples in the docs.  I skipped adding a
back-compat note.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
