Subject: [PATCH] nvme: make the DH-HMAC-CHAP secret attributes readable by
root only
The dhchap_secret and dhchap_ctrl_secret sysfs attributes have mode
0644. Their show functions return the secret, so any local user can
read the DH-HMAC-CHAP secrets of a connected controller.
Define them with DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RW(), which sets mode 0600. The
macro takes the show and store functions from the attribute name, so
rename them. Writing the attributes was already limited to root and is
not changed.
Fixes: f50fff73d620 ("nvme: implement In-Band authentication")
