The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel
message catalog" which never made it upstream.

Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace
all users with the string it defines. In almost all cases this leads to a
simple replacement like this:

 - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata"
 - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt
 + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "appldata: " fmt

Except for some special cases this is just mechanical/scripted work.

The normal bin_attrs field can now handle const pointers.
This makes the _new variant unnecessary.
Switch all users back.

The sysfs core now allows instances of 'struct bin_attribute' to be
moved into read-only memory. Make use of that to protect them against
accidental or malicious modifications.

<title>s390/crypto: Display Query and Query Authentication Information in sysfs</title>

Displays the query (fc=0) and query authentication information (fc=127)
as binary in sysfs per CPACF instruction. Files are located in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpacf/. These information can be fetched via
asm already except for PCKMO because this instruction is privileged. To
offer a unified interface all CPACF instructions will have this
information displayed in sysfs in files &lt;instruction&gt;_query_raw and
&lt;instruction&gt;_query_auth_info_raw.

A new tool introduced into s390-tools called cpacfinfo will use this
information to convert and display in human readable form.
