The dev_attrs field of struct bus_type is going away, use dev_groups instead.
This converts the soundbus code to use the correct field.
Given that all other usages of the macro define the struct attribute
*xxx_attrs[] in the same file they assign the .dev_groups field, this patch
merges sysfs.c into core.c.
These modifications were made using Coccinelle.

Changes since v1:
- Fix the commit message to actually talk about soundbus rather than MDIO
- This version attempt to fix a problem resulting from the macro
ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS declaring the structure as static by merging sysfs.c into
core.c. I understand that this may not be the prefered solution since
Takashi suggested that adding a comment line to the previous version could
be acceptable.

Hmm, the patch doesn't look as mentioned here.
It's rather bigger than the previous patch. Is this intentional?

Well as mentionned in the change log it is bigger because it moves the
code from sysfs.c to
core.c. I realise as I am writing this that this patch should have
really been two patches.
The first one removing sysfs.c and the second one removing the use of
the dev_attrs.

I wouldn't be able to justify that as this is part is simply a copy
paste from sysfs.c to core.c

Yes, that'd be better. OTOH, do we really need to copy many codes at
all? I really prefer shorter changes, if possible.
