platform/x86: make fw_attr_class constant

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take
a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, so move the fw_attr_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.

platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix error handling in hp_add_other_attributes()

'attr_name_kobj' is allocated using kzalloc, but on all the error paths
it is not freed, hence we have a memory leak.

Fix the error path before kobject_init_and_add() by adding kfree().

kobject_put() must be always called after passing the object to
kobject_init_and_add(). Only the error path which is immediately next
to kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_put() and not any other error
path after it.

Fix the error handling after kobject_init_and_add() by moving the
kobject_put() into the goto label err_other_attr_init that is already
used by all the error paths after kobject_init_and_add().

platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: move mutex_lock() down in hp_add_other_attributes()

attr_name_kobj's memory allocation is done with mutex_lock() held, this
is not needed.

Move allocation outside of mutex_lock() so unlock is not needed when
allocation fails.

All cases in switch-case have a same goto on error, move the return
check out of the switch. This is a cleanup.

# 981368e1 25-Sep-2023 Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix reference leak

If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference
to that attribute is returned which needs to be disposed accordingly
using kobject_put(). Use kobject_put() to dispose the duplicate
attribute in such a case.
As a side note, a very similar bug was fixed in
commit 7295a996fdab ("platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak"),
so it seems that the bug was copied from that driver.

Compile-tested only.

platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: prevent a small buffer overflow

This function escapes certain special characters like \n. So if the
last character in the string is a '\n' then it gets changed into two
characters '\' and '\n'. But maybe we only have space for the '\' so
we need to check for that.

The "conv_dst_size" variable is always less than or to equal the "size"
variable. It's easier to just check "conv_dst_size" instead of checking
both.
