Add labels from IIO channels to our channels. This allows userspace to
display more meaningful names instead of "in0" or "temp5".

This can return -EINVAL if there is no label. Since the label attribute
is created unconditionally, every affected system would end up with
lots of error messages when running the "sensors" command.
This is not acceptable.

The sensors command gracefully handles this. There are no errors, and the label is unused.

For example, without IIO labels I get:

$ sensors hwmon_ams_ps-isa-0000
hwmon_ams_ps-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
in1:         825.00 mV
in2:         826.00 mV
in3:           1.81 V
in4:           1.18 V
in5:           1.80 V
in6:           1.80 V
in7:           3.27 V
in8:           1.81 V
in9:         825.00 mV
in10:          1.81 V
in11:          1.80 V
temp1:        +79.8 C
temp2:        +80.9 C

and with labels I get

$ sensors hwmon_ams_ps-isa-0000
hwmon_ams_ps-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCC_PSINTLP: 824.00 mV
VCC_PSINTFP: 822.00 mV
VCC_PSAUX:     1.81 V
VCC_PSDDR:     1.18 V
VCC_PSIO3:     1.80 V
VCC_PSIO0:     1.80 V
VCC_PSIO1:     3.27 V
VCC_PSIO2:     1.80 V
PS_MGTRAVCC: 822.00 mV
PS_MGTRAVTT:   1.81 V
VCC_PSADC:     1.80 V
Temp_LPD:     +79.5 C
Temp_FPD:     +80.2 C


You are correct, the sensors code ignores access errors on label attributes.
Still, I am not even going there. If there is no label, don't create
the attribute, period. The ABI says

    Should only be created if the driver has hints about what
    this voltage channel is being used for, and user-space
    doesn't. In all other cases, the label is provided by
    user-space.

It should be obvious that this doesn't mean that you can create random
attributes and then just return an error if it isn't actually supported.
