sysfs, kernfs: add sysfs_dirent->s_attr.size
sysfs sets the size of regular files unconditionally at PAGE_SIZE and
takes the size of bin files from bin_attribute. The latter is a
pretty bad interface which forces bin_attribute users to create a
separate copy of bin_attribute for each instance of the file -
e.g. pci resource files.
Add sysfs_dirent->s_attr.size so that the size can be specified
separately. This unifies inode init paths of ATTR and BIN_ATTR
identical and allows for generic size handling for kernfs.
Unfortunately, this grows the size of sysfs_dirent by sizeof(loff_t).
