sysfs: Use only return value from is_visible for the file mode

Browse Source 
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.
