block: rbd: update sysfs interface
The existing sysfs interface has been updated to be in the same format as described in Documentation/ABI/README. This will be useful for scripting and tracking changes in the ABI. Attributes have been grouped by functionality and/or the date on which they were added. There are a couple of more changes: - The attributes have been annotated with file permissions RO/RW/WO. - Added description of the bus attribute supported_features Signed-off-by: Aishwarya Pant <aishpant@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
