    sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function

    This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
    functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
    by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
    passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
    and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

    I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
    machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

    I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
    huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

    Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
    Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
    Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32
