[1/3] Add a private data field within kobj_attribute structure.
This patch add a private data field, declared as void *, within kobj_attribute
structure. The _show() and _store() method in the sysfs attribute entries can
refer this information to identify what entry is accessed.
It makes easier to share a single method implementation with several similar
entries, like ones to export the list of capabilities the running kernel
supported.
