x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute

Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

[akpm: remove the ifdef for now]
