sysfs: use transient write buffer
There isn't much to be gained by keeping around kernel buffer while a file is open especially as the read path planned to be converted to use seq_file and won't use the buffer. This patch makes sysfs_write_file() use per-write transient buffer instead of sysfs_open_file->page. This simplifies the write path, enables removing sysfs_open_file->page once read path is updated and will help merging bin file write path which already requires the use of a transient buffer due to a locking order issue. As the function comments of flush_write_buffer() and sysfs_write_buffer() are being updated anyway, reformat them so that they're more conventional. v2: Use min_t() instead of min() in sysfs_write_file() to avoid build warning on arm.
