W1: w1_therm fix user buffer overflow and cat

Fixed data reading bug by replacing binary attribute with device one.

Switching the sysfs read from bin_attribute to device_attribute.  The data
is far under PAGE_SIZE so the binary interface isn't required.  As the
device_attribute interface will make one call to w1_therm_read per file
open and buffer, the result is, the following problems go away.

buffer overflow:
	Execute a short read on w1_slave and w1_therm_read_bin would still
	return the full string size worth of data clobbering the user space
	buffer when it returned.  Switching to device_attribute avoids the
	buffer overflow problems.  With the snprintf formatted output dealing
	with short reads without doing a conversion per read would have
	been difficult.
bad behavior:
	`cat w1_slave` would cause two temperature conversions to take place.
	Previously the code assumed W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE would be returned with
	each read.  It would not return 0 unless the offset was less
	than W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE.  The result was the first read did a
	temperature conversion, filled the buffer and returned, the
	offset in the second read would be less than
	W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE and also fill the buffer and return, the
	third read would finnally have a big enough offset to return 0
	and cause cat to stop.  Now w1_therm_read will be called at
	most once per open.
