<title>sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function</title>

<content type='text'>
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

File permissions for
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
are 600 which allows write access. But this is in fact a read only
file. So change permissions to 400.

This way it checks if the clocks are synchronized between CPUs too.
This might be able to detect slowly drifting TSCs which only
go wrong over longer time.

commit 1077f5a917b7c630231037826b344b2f7f5b903f
Author: Parag Warudkar &lt;parag.warudkar@gmail.com&gt;

    clocksource.c: use init_timer_deferrable for clocksource_watchdog
    
    clocksource_watchdog can use a deferrable timer - reduces wakeups from
    idle per second.

The watchdog timer needs to run with the specified interval. Otherwise
it will miss the possible wrap of the watchdog clocksource.
