When an attribute group is created with sysfs_create_group(), the
->sysfs_ops() callback is set to kobj_sysfs_ops, which sets the ->show()
and ->store() callbacks to kobj_attr_show() and kobj_attr_store()
respectively. These functions use container_of() to get the respective
callback from the passed attribute, meaning that these callbacks need to
be the same type as the callbacks in 'struct kobj_attribute'.

However, the platform_profile sysfs functions have the type of the
->show() and ->store() callbacks in 'struct device_attribute', which
results a CFI violation when accessing platform_profile or
platform_profile_choices under /sys/firmware/acpi because the types do
not match:

  CFI failure at kobj_attr_show+0x19/0x30 (target: platform_profile_choices_show+0x0/0x140; expected type: 0x7a69590c)

There is no functional issue from the type mismatch because the layout
of 'struct kobj_attribute' and 'struct device_attribute' are the same,
so the container_of() cast does not break anything aside from CFI.

Change the type of platform_profile_choices_show() and
platform_profile_{show,store}() to match the callbacks in
'struct kobj_attribute' and update the attribute variables to match,
which resolves the CFI violation.

John reminded me that this is still an issue in 6.12:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/2047#issuecomment-2482635093

I know Greg said this driver should be using a 'struct device' but I am
not familiar with that conversion and there was never any follow up to
me asking how it should be done. I think it would be best to pick this
change up now and have that conversion be done properly by someone who
is more familiar with this driver later.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on linux-pm/acpi
- Pick up Sami's reviewed-by tag
- Adjust wording around why there is no functional issue from the
  mismatched types
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240819-acpi-platform_profile-fix-cfi-violation-v1-1-479365d848f6@kernel.org
