[PATCH v2 1/3] sysfs: Support is_visible() on binary attributes

[Emilio LÃpez]

According to the sysfs header file:

    "The returned value will replace static permissions defined in
     struct attribute or struct bin_attribute."

but this isn't the case, as is_visible is only called on struct attribute
only. This patch introduces a new is_bin_visible() function to implement
the same functionality for binary attributes, and updates documentation
accordingly.

Changes from v1:
 - Don't overload is_visible, introduce is_bin_visible instead as
   discussed on the list.
