sysfs: don't call notify_change

Browse source 
sysfs_chmod_file() calls notify_change() to change the permission bits
on a sysfs file.  Replace with explicit call to sysfs_setattr() and
fsnotify_change().

This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not
called.  This function is called by drivers, so the security checks do
not make any sense.
