According to the sysfs header file:
"The returned value will replace static permissions defined in
struct attribute or struct bin_attribute."
but this isn't the case, as is_visible is only called on struct attribute
only. This patch introduces a new is_bin_visible() function to implement
the same functionality for binary attributes, and updates documentation
accordingly.

Changes from v1:
- Don't overload is_visible, introduce is_bin_visible instead as
discussed on the list.
