[RESEND PATCH v2 1/2] kernfs: sysfs: support custom llseek method for sysfs entries

[Valentine Sinitsyn]

As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek().
There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic:

- Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts
  past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this
  also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at
  some later point making debugging harder.
- generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size
  which might not be correct for all sysfs entries.
  See commit 636b21b50152 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example.

Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute
level. The method is optional, and if it is absent,
generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.
