Subject: nilfs2: fix CFI failure when accessing /sys/fs/nilfs2/features/*
Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2025 23:43:34 +0900

When accessing one of the files under /sys/fs/nilfs2/features when
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG is enabled, there is a CFI violation:

  CFI failure at kobj_attr_show+0x59/0x80 (target: nilfs_feature_revision_show+0x0/0x30; expected type: 0xfc392c4d)
  ...
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x2a6/0x390
   ? __cfi_kobj_attr_show+0x10/0x10
   kernfs_seq_show+0x104/0x15b
   seq_read_iter+0x580/0xe2b
  ...

When the kobject of the kset for /sys/fs/nilfs2 is initialized, its ktype
is set to kset_ktype, which has a ->sysfs_ops of kobj_sysfs_ops.  When
nilfs_feature_attr_group is added to that kobject via
sysfs_create_group(), the kernfs_ops of each files is sysfs_file_kfops_rw,
which will call sysfs_kf_seq_show() when ->seq_show() is called. 
sysfs_kf_seq_show() in turn calls kobj_attr_show() through
->sysfs_ops->show().  kobj_attr_show() casts the provided attribute out to
a 'struct kobj_attribute' via container_of() and calls ->show(), resulting
in the CFI violation since neither nilfs_feature_revision_show() nor
nilfs_feature_README_show() match the prototype of ->show() in 'struct
kobj_attribute'.

Resolve the CFI violation by adjusting the second parameter in
nilfs_feature_{revision,README}_show() from 'struct attribute' to 'struct
kobj_attribute' to match the expected prototype.
