Dan Williams cd69fedf58 sysfs: Fix crash on empty group attributes array
It turns out that arch/x86/events/intel/core.c makes use of "empty"
attributes.

	static struct attribute *empty_attrs;

	__init int intel_pmu_init(void)
	{
	        struct attribute **extra_skl_attr = &empty_attrs;
	        struct attribute **extra_attr = &empty_attrs;
	        struct attribute **td_attr    = &empty_attrs;
	        struct attribute **mem_attr   = &empty_attrs;
	        struct attribute **tsx_attr   = &empty_attrs;
		...

That breaks the assumption __first_visible() that expects that if
grp->attrs is set then grp->attrs[0] must also be set and results in
backtraces like:

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00rnel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present ] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
    CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/IP: 0010:exra_is_visible+0x14/0x20

    RIP: 0010:exra_is_visible+0x14/0

Check for non-empty attributes array before calling is_visible().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
