sysfs: Only accept read/write permissions for file attributes
For sysfs file attributes, only read and write permissions make sense. Mask provided attribute permissions accordingly and send a warning to the console if invalid permission bits are set. This patch is originally from Guenter [1] and includes the fixup explained in the thread, that is printing permissions in octal format and limiting the scope of attributes to SYSFS_PREALLOC | 0664.
