gpio: sysfs: change 'value' attribute to prealloc

The GPIO 'value' attribute is time critical. A small bench with
'perf record' on the app below shows that 80% of the time spent in
sysfs_kf_seq_show() is spent in memset() for zeroising the buffer.

|--67.48%--sysfs_kf_seq_show
|          |
|          |--54.40%--memset
|          |
|          |--11.49%--dev_attr_show
|          |          |
|          |          |--10.06%--value_show
|          |          |          |
|          |          |          |--4.75%--sprintf
|          |          |          |          |

This patch changes the attribute type to prealloc, eliminating the
need to zeroise the buffer at each read. 'perf record' gives the
following result.

|--42.41%--sysfs_kf_read
|          |
|          |--39.73%--dev_attr_show
|          |          |
|          |          |--38.23%--value_show
|          |          |          |
|          |          |          |--29.22%--sprintf
|          |          |          |          |

Test done with the following small app:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);

	for (;;) {
		int buf[512];

		read(fd, buf, 512);
		lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
	}
	exit(0);
}
