DEVICE_STRING_ATTR_RO should be only used by device drivers since it
relies on `struct device` to use device_show_string() function. Using
this with non device code led to a kCFI violation:
> cat /sys/fs/tmpfs/features/casefold
[ 70.558496] CFI failure at kobj_attr_show+0x2c/0x4c (target: device_show_string+0x0/0x38; expected type: 0xc527b809)
Like the other filesystems, fix this by manually declaring the attribute
using kobj_attribute() and writing a proper show() function.
Also, leave macros for anyone that need to expand tmpfs sysfs' with
more attributes (as seen in fs/btrfs/sysfs.c).

Small nit, I think this might be overindented?
