[PATCH v6] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Expose monitor data only when monitor pages are used

[Kimberly Brown <kimbrownkd@gmail.com>]

There are two methods for signaling the host: the monitor page mechanism
and hypercalls. The monitor page mechanism is used by performance
critical channels (storage, networking, etc.) because it provides
improved throughput. However, latency is increased. Monitor pages are
allocated to these channels.

Monitor pages are not allocated to channels that do not use the monitor
page mechanism. Therefore, these channels do not have a valid monitor id
or valid monitor page data. In these cases, some of the "_show"
functions return incorrect data. They return an invalid monitor id and
data that is beyond the bounds of the hv_monitor_page array fields.

The "channel->offermsg.monitor_allocated" value can be used to determine
whether monitor pages have been allocated to a channel.

Add "is_visible()" callback functions for the device-level and
channel-level attribute groups. These functions will hide the monitor
sysfs files when the monitor mechanism is not used.

Remove ".default_attributes" from "vmbus_chan_attrs" and create a
channel-level attribute group. These changes allow the new
"is_visible()" callback function to be applied to the channel-level
attributes.

Call "sysfs_create_group()" in "vmbus_add_channel_kobj()" to create the
channel's sysfs files. Add a new function,
“vmbus_remove_channel_attr_group()”, and call it in "free_channel()" to
remove the channel's sysfs files when the channel is closed.

Changes in v6:
 - Removed the “sysfs_group_ready” flag proposed in v5. The flag was
   used to verify that the attribute group was created, which is
   unnecessary; sysfs_remove_group() can be called even when
   sysfs_create_group() fails.
 - Replaced pr_err() with dev_err() as suggested by G. Kroah-Hartman.
 - Shortened the error path comment in vmbus_add_channel_kobj().
 - Updated the commit message.

Changes in v5:
 - Added the “bool sysfs_group_ready” field to vmbus_channel.
 - Added the “vmbus_remove_channel_attr_group()” function which calls
   "sysfs_remove_group()".
 - Added a comment to "vmbus_add_channel_kobj()" to describe how the
   empty directory is removed if "sysfs_create_group()" returns an
   error.
 - Updated the commit message.

NOTE: “.default_attrs” must be removed from vmbus_chan_ktype in order to
use the is_visible() function because "default_attrs" is an array of
attributes, not an attribute_group.

Changes in v4:
 - Added “is_visible()” callback functions for the device-level and
   channel-level attribute groups.
 - Removed the separate monitor attribute groups proposed in v3. They’re
   no longer needed because the “is_visible()” callbacks are used to
   determine the attribute visibility.
 - Removed "default_attributes" from "vmbus_chan_attrs" and created a
   channel-level attribute group.
 - Removed the "kobject_put(kobj)" call proposed in v3. The calling
   functions take care of calling "kobject_put(channel->kobj)" if an
   error is returned by "vmbus_add_channel_kobj()".
 - Updated the commit message and subject for clarity and to reflect the
   new changes in v4.

Changes in v3:
 - The monitor "_show" functions no longer return an error when a
   channel does not use the monitor page mechanism. Instead, the monitor
   page sysfs files are created only when a channel uses the monitor
   page mechanism. This change was suggested by G. Kroah-Hartman.

Note: this patch was originally patch 2/2 in a patchset. Patch 1/2 has
already been added to char-misc-testing, so I'm not resending it.

Changes in v2:
 - Changed the return value for cases where monitor_allocated is not set
   to "-EINVAL".
 - Updated the commit message to provide more details about the monitor
   page mechanism.
 - Updated the sysfs documentation to describe the new return value.
