[ Upstream commit 7ee23491b39259ae83899dd93b2a29ef0f22f0a7 ]
The permissions of the read-only or write-only sysfs files can be changed (as root) and the user can then try to read a write-only file or write to a read-only file which will lead to kernel crash here.
Protect against that by always validating the show/store callbacks.
