[PATCH 5.12 196/242] qemu_fw_cfg: Make fw_cfg_rev_attr a proper kobj_attribute

From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>

commit fca41af18e10318e4de090db47d9fa7169e1bf2f upstream.

fw_cfg_showrev() is called by an indirect call in kobj_attr_show(),
which violates clang's CFI checking because fw_cfg_showrev()'s second
parameter is 'struct attribute', whereas the ->show() member of 'struct
kobj_structure' expects the second parameter to be of type 'struct
kobj_attribute'.

$ cat /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/rev
3

$ dmesg | grep "CFI failure"
[ 26.016832] CFI failure (target: fw_cfg_showrev+0x0/0x8):

Fix this by converting fw_cfg_rev_attr to 'struct kobj_attribute' where
this would have been caught automatically by the incompatible pointer
types compiler warning. Update fw_cfg_showrev() accordingly.
