[PATCH] sysfs-iattr: add sysfs_setattr

o This adds ->i_op->setattr VFS method for sysfs inodes. The changed
  attribues are saved in the persistent sysfs_dirent structure as a pointer
  to struct iattr. The struct iattr is allocated only for those sysfs_dirent's
  for which default attributes are getting changed. Thanks to Jon Smirl for
  this suggestion.
