driver core: Add device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes

Browse Source 
For drivers wishing to expose an unsigned long, int or bool at a static
memory location in sysfs, the driver core provides ready-made helpers
such as device_show_ulong() to be used as ->show() callback.

Some drivers need to expose a string and so far they all provide their
own ->show() implementation.  arch/powerpc/perf/hv-24x7.c went so far
as to create a device_show_string() helper but kept it private.

Make it public for reuse by other drivers.  The pattern seems to be
sufficiently frequent to merit a public helper.

Add a DEVICE_STRING_ATTR_RO() macro in line with the existing
DEVICE_ULONG_ATTR() and similar macros to ease declaration of string
attributes.
