Given you add a debugfs knob, I would simply drop the module param
introduced in the previous patch, it's just redundant, and I'd expect
people who care about profiling to have DEBUGFS enabled anyway.

I don't think we want to stop the counter immediately. We should
instead let the job logic switch it off when all jobs with profiling
enabled are done.

With the panfrost_cycle_counter_stop() call in profile_set() dropped,
you should be able to use debugfs_create_atomic_t() here.
