Here is the 3rd round of driverfs updates.

The big change in this update is to move some fields of struct
driver_file_entry into struct driver_attribute. Now, instead of drivers
declaring and using the former, they use the latter. It looks like this:

struct driver_attribute {
        char * name;
        mode_t mode;
        driverfs_show show;
        driverfs_store store;
};

struct driver_file_entry {
        struct driver_dir_entry * parent;
        struct list_head node;
        struct dentry * dentry;
        struct driver_attribute * attr;
};

struct driver_file_entry is still around, and there is still one allocated
for each file that is created. However, it used only by the driverfs core.
And, instead of copying the original driver_file_entry into each allocated
one, the code now simply has a pointer to the struct driver_attribute that
describes the file.

All users of struct driver_file_entry have been updated, as well as the
documentation.

Appended is the diffstat output and changelogs for the most recent change,
relative to the previous two updates, as well as the diffstat output and
changelogs for all three updates.

<mochel@osdl.org> (02/07/19 1.639.6.19)
   driverfs:
   add struct driver_attribute, which is what should now be used instead of struct driver_file_entry
   The latter still stays around, but is used only by the driverfs core.
   'driver_attribute' more accurately reflects what is being exported.
   Plus, by making separate structures, we can reference the same attribute structure for each object that
   exports that attribute, instead of allocating memory for and copying the same data.

   - change functions that use it to treat it as such

<mochel@osdl.org> (02/07/17 1.639.5.11)
fs/partitions/check.c:

   - Change show() and store() callbacks to take a void *, instead of struct device *
   - Use object pointer in read() and write() instead of doing list_entry on the driver_file_entry
