The utility function from the sysfs core is sufficient to implement this
attribute. Make use of it.

__BIN_ATTR() is used over the normal struct initializer because it is
shorter and can also handle the transition to const struct bin_attr
callbacks.
If you prefer, I can switch that back, but it will introduce a trivial
conflict with [0].

Note: There is no formal maintainer for that source file.

 __BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_RO() is even shorter.
