Subject: [PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.

Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended
form attributes easier.  configfs should have something similiar.

- _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the
  sysfs macros.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute()
  operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended
  form configfs_attributes.
