libfs: add DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for signed value

[ Upstream commit 2e41f274f9aa71cdcc69dc1f26a3f9304a651804 ]

Patch series "fix error when writing negative value to simple attribute
files".

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), but some attribute files want to accept a negative
value.

This patch (of 3):

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value.

This adds DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.
