[PATCH] configfs+dlm: Separate out __CONFIGFS_ATTR into configfs.h

fs/dlm/config.c contains a useful generic macro called __CONFIGFS_ATTR
that is similar to sysfs' __ATTR macro that makes defining attributes
easy for any user of configfs. Separate it out into configfs.h so that
other users (forthcoming in dynamic netconsole patchset) can use it too.
