sysfs_remove_bin_file() cannot tell if there is an error and
cannot return an error, so "fix" around 40 must-check warnings.
Convert sysfs_remove_bin_file() from int to void since it
cannot return an error.
Remove __must_check from its declaration.
Convert the only function that checked the return value of
sysfs_remove_bin_file().
