When drivers expose a bin_attribute in sysfs which is backed by a buffer
in memory, a common pattern is to set the @private and @size members in
struct bin_attribute to the buffer's location and size.
The ->read() callback then merely consists of a single memcpy() call.
It's not even necessary to perform bounds checks as these are already
handled by sysfs_kf_bin_read().
However each driver is so far providing its own ->read() implementation.
The pattern is sufficiently frequent to merit a public helper, so add
sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() as well as BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_RO() and
BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_ADMIN_RO() macros to ease declaration of such
bin_attributes and reduce LoC and .text section size.
