libfs: allow error return from simple attributes
Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for
acquiring a mutex interruptibly. In fact we have that situation in
spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes. This
patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the
main ones and allows to return errors.
