sysfs: Use only return value from is_visible for the file mode
Up to now, is_visible can only be used to either remove visibility of a file entirely or to add permissions, but not to reduce permissions. This makes it impossible, for example, to use DEVICE_ATTR_RW to define file attributes and reduce permissions to read-only. This behavior is undesirable and unnecessarily complicates code which needs to reduce permissions; instead of just returning the desired permissions, it has to ensure that the permissions in the attribute variable declaration only reflect the minimal permissions ever needed. Change semantics of is_visible to only use the permissions returned from it instead of oring the returned value with the hard-coded permissions.
