This patch fixes the case where 'lifespan' entry of the hw_counters
is not writable. Currently write callback is not exposed for for
the hw_counters sysfs operation. Due to this, modifying lifespan
value results into permission denied error in below example.
echo 10 > /sys/class/infiniband/mlx5_0/ports/1/hw_counters/lifespan
-bash: /sys/class/infiniband/mlx5_0/ports/1/hw_counters/lifespan:
Permission denied
This patch adds the hook to modify any attribute which implements
store() operation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
