Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended
form attributes easier. configfs should have something similiar.
- _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the
sysfs macros.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute()
operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended
form configfs_attributes.

The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because
of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.
Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the
->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are
bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for
compatibility.
Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.
This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218390a139f2d474ee1e983a672d5839a.

Transform some calls to kmalloc/memset to a single kzalloc (or kcalloc).
Here is a short excerpt of the semantic patch performing
this transformation:

Convert the su_sem member of struct configfs_subsystem to a struct
mutex, as that's what it is. Also convert all the users and update
Documentation/configfs.txt and Documentation/configfs_example.c
accordingly.

configfs always made item and attribute ownership root.root and
permissions based on a umask of 022. Add ->setattr() to allow
chown(2)/chmod(2), and persist the changes for the lifetime of the
items and attributes.
