Subject: [PATCH V12 5/9] driver-core: Introduce BIN_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

Many binary attributes need to limit access to CAP_SYS_ADMIN only; ie
many binary attributes specify is_visible with 0400 or 0600.

Make setting the permissions of such attributes more explicit by
defining BIN_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}.
