Each devfreq governor can have the different sysfs attributes and features.
In order to provide the only available sysfs attribute to user-space,
add governor attribute flag with DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_[attribute name] defintion.

Also, each governor is able to have the specific flag in order to
support specific feature with DEVFREQ_GOV_FLAG_[feature name] defintion
like immutable governor.

According to each governor, can initiate the governor feature and attribute
flags.

[Common sysfs attributes for devfreq class]
And all devfreq governors have to support the following common attributes.
The common attributes are added to devfreq class by default.
- governor
- available_governors
- available_frequencies
- cur_freq
- target_freq
- min_freq
- max_freq
- trans_stat

[Definition for governor attribute flag]
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_POLLING_INTERVAL to update polling interval for timer.
  : /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/polling_interval
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_TIMER to change the type of timer on either deferrable
  or dealyed timer.
  : /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/timer

[Definition for governor feature flag]
- DEVFREQ_GOV_FLAG_IMMUTABLE
  : If immutable flag is set, governor is never changeable to other governors.
- DEVFREQ_GOV_FLAG_IRQ_DRIVEN
  : Devfreq core won't schedule polling work for this governor if value is set.

Changes from v5:
- Remove redundant code for creating syfs files.
- Move create_sysfs_files() position after completed governor start on
devfreq_add_device()
- Add reviewd-by/tested-by tag of Dmitry Osipenko

Changes from v4:
- Rename from 'attr' to 'attrs'
- Restore the variable name in governor_store because it is enought to explain
the previous or new governor with detailed comments instead of variable name
changes.

Changes from v3:
- Fix typo
- Rename from 'flag' to 'flags'
- Add more exception handling code and add comments on governor_store()

Changes from v2:
- Hide unsupported sysfs node to user-space instead of checking the permission
of sysfs node.
