Subject: [PATCH] kernfs: implement custom llseek method to fix userspace regression

Since commit 636b21b50152 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem"),
mmapable sysfs binary attributes have started receiving their
f_mapping from the iomem pseudo filesystem, so that
CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is honored in sysfs (and procfs) as well
as in /dev/[k]mem.

This resulted in a userspace-visible regression: lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END)
now returns zero regardless the real sysfs attribute size which stat()
reports. The reason is that kernfs files use generic_file_llseek()
implementation, which relies on f_mapping->host inode to get the file
size. As f_mapping is now redefined, f_mapping->host points to an
anonymous zero-sized iomem inode which has nothing to do with sysfs
attribute or kernfs file representing it. This being said, f_inode
remains valid, so stat() which uses it works correctly.

Fixes the regression by implementing a custom llseek fop for kernfs,
which uses an attribute's file inode to get the file size,
just as stat() does.

Fixes: 636b21b50152 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem")
