When dynamically allocating sysfs attributes, it's a good idea to call sysfs_attr_init() on them to initialize lock_class_keys. This change does that. The lock_class_keys are set when the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC symbol is enabled. Which is [likely] one reason why I did not see this during development. I also am not able to see this even with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC enabled, so this may [likely] be reproduce-able on some system configurations.

I haven't been able to reproduce this on mine.
