As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek().
There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic:
- Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts
past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this
also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at
some later point making debugging harder.
- generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size
which might not be correct for all sysfs entries.
See commit 636b21b50152 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example.
Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute
level. The method is optional, and if it is absent,
generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.

Changelog:
v8:
- This is real v7; previous v7 is a buggy earlier patch sent by
mistake
v7:
- Use proper locking in kernfs_fop_llseek()
v6:
- Mark pci_llseek_resource() as __maybe_unused
- Fix a typo in pci_create_legacy_files()
v5:
- Fix builds without PCI mmap support (e.g. Alpha)
v4:
- Fix builds which #define HAVE_PCI_LEGACY (e.g. PowerPC)
v3:
- Grammar fixes
- Add base-patch: and prerequisite-patch-id: to make kernel test
robot happy
v2:
- Add infrastructure to customize llseek per sysfs entry type
- Override llseek for PCI sysfs entries with fixed_file_llseek()--
