kobject: Add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type
kobj_type currently uses a list of individual attributes to store default attributes. Attribute groups are more flexible than a list of attributes because groups provide support for attribute visibility. So, add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type. In future patches, the existing uses of kobj_type’s attribute list will be converted to attribute groups. When that is complete, kobj_type’s attribute list, “default_attrs”, will be removed.
