Subject: [PATCH] Fix handling of sysfs RW attrs that are actually RO

Kernel commit 356ba2a8bc8d ("scsi: target: tcmu: Make
gr_support and alua_support attributes writable"), made the
alua_support and pgr_support sysfs attributes writable
so that individual target drivers could change them.
This means that the filesystem attributes might saw
read-write, but the attributes can in fact be read-only.
When a user tries to write to them, in this case,
they EINVAL.

This causes rtslib to throw error messages when one does
a "targetctl restore" like these:

> Storage Object fileio/file01: Cannot set attribute alua_support: [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped
> Storage Object fileio/file01: Cannot set attribute pgr_support: [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped

While these messages are benign, they will cause confusion, since
(1) there's nothing wrong, and (2) they didn't occur before above-
mentioned kernel commit.

This fix tells rtslib to ignore errno 22 for these two attributes.
