[PATCH net] bridge: check brport attr show in brport_show

[PATCH net] bridge: check brport attr show in brport_show

[Xin Long]

Now br_sysfs_if file flush doesn't have attr show. To read it will
cause kernel panic after users chmod u+r this file.

Xiong found this issue when running the commands:

  ip link add br0 type bridge
  ip link add type veth
  ip link set veth0 master br0
  chmod u+r /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush
  timeout 3 cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush

kernel crashed with NULL a pointer dereference call trace.

This patch is to fix it by return -EINVAL when brport_attr->show
is null, just the same as the check for brport_attr->store in
brport_store().

Fixes: 9cf637473c85 ("bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding table")
