Krzysztof Wilczyński 381bd3fa83 PCI/sysfs: Fix 'resource_alignment' newline issues
The value of the "resource_alignment" can be specified using a kernel
command-line argument ("pci=resource_alignment=") or through the
corresponding sysfs attribute under the /sys/bus/pci path.

Previously, when the value was set via the kernel command-line argument,
and then subsequently accessed through sysfs attribute, the value read back
was not correct:

  # grep -oE 'pci=resource_alignment.+' /proc/cmdline
  pci=resource_alignment=20@00:1f.2
  # cat /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  20@00:1f.

This was also true when the value was set through the sysfs attribute
without including a trailing newline:

  # echo -n 20@00:1f.2 > /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  # cat /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  20@00:1f.

When it was set through the sysfs attribute *including* a newline,
reading it back worked as intended:

  # echo 20@00:1f.2 > /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  # cat /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  20@00:1f.2

To fix this inconsistency, append a trailing newline in the show() function
and strip the trailing line in the store() function if one is present.

Also, allow for the value previously set using either a command-line
argument or through the sysfs object to be cleared at run-time.

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.
