[PATCH] module sysfs: sections attr reimplemented using attr group

        Reimplement section attributes using attribute group.  This
        makes more sense, for, while they reside in a separate
        subdirectory, they belong to the ownig module and their
        lifetime exactly equals the lifetime of the owning module,
        and it's simpler.
