In case performance stats for an nvdimm are not available, reading the
'perf_stats' sysfs file returns an -ENOENT error. A better approach is
to make the 'perf_stats' file entirely invisible to indicate that
performance stats for an nvdimm are unavailable.
So this patch updates 'papr_nd_attribute_group' to add a 'is_visible'
callback implemented as newly introduced 'papr_nd_attribute_visible()'
that returns an appropriate mode in case performance stats aren't
supported in a given nvdimm.
Also the initialization of 'papr_scm_priv.stat_buffer_len' is moved
from papr_scm_nvdimm_init() to papr_scm_probe() so that it value is
available when 'papr_nd_attribute_visible()' is called during nvdimm
initialization.
Even though 'perf_stats' attribute is available since v5.9, there are
no known user-space tools/scripts that are dependent on presence of its
sysfs file. Hence I dont expect any user-space breakage with this
patch.

README
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.
