driver-core: Introduce DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}
A common pattern for using plain DEVICE_ATTR() instead of DEVICE_ATTR_RO() and DEVICE_ATTR_RW() is for attributes that want to limit read to only root. I.e. many users of DEVICE_ATTR() are specifying 0400 or 0600 for permissions. Given the expectation that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to access these sensitive attributes and an explicit helper with the _ADMIN_ identifier for DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}. Cc: "Rafael J.
