sysfs: Add sysfs_update_groups function

Adding sysfs_update_groups function to update
multiple groups.

  sysfs_update_groups - given a directory kobject, create a bunch of attribute groups
  @kobj:      The kobject to update the group on
  @groups:    The attribute groups to update, NULL terminated

This function update a bunch of attribute groups.  If an error occurs when
updating a group, all previously updated groups will be removed together
with already existing (not updated) attributes.
