nvmem: core: Implement force_ro sysfs attribute

Implement "force_ro" sysfs attribute to allow users to set read-write
devices as read-only and back to read-write from userspace. The choice
of the name is based on MMC core 'force_ro' attribute.

This solves a situation where an AT24 I2C EEPROM with GPIO based nWP
signal may have to be occasionally updated. Such I2C EEPROM device is
usually set as read-only during most of the regular system operation,
but in case it has to be updated in a controlled manner, it could be
unlocked using this new "force_ro" sysfs attribute and then re-locked
again.

The "read-only" DT property and config->read_only configuration is
respected and is used to set default state of the device, read-only
or read-write, for devices which do implement .reg_write function.
For devices which do not implement .reg_write function, the device
is unconditionally read-only and the "force_ro" attribute is not
visible.

+Description:
+		This read/write attribute allows users to set read-write
+		devices as read-only and back to read-write from userspace.
+		This can be used to unlock and relock write-protection of
+		devices which are generally locked, except during sporadic
+		programming operation.
+		Read returns '0' or '1' for read-write or read-only modes
+		respectively.
+		Write parses one of 'YyTt1NnFf0', or [oO][NnFf] for "on"
+		and "off", i.e. what kstrbool() supports.
+		Note: This file is only present if CONFIG_NVMEM_SYSFS
+		is enabled.
