Christophe Leroy 7a94b88cb7 gpio: sysfs: don't use sprintf() for 'value' attribute
A bench with 'perf record' shows that most of time spent in value_show()
is spent in sprintf()

--42.41%--sysfs_kf_read
          |
          |--39.73%--dev_attr_show
          |          |
          |          |--38.23%--value_show
          |          |          |
          |          |          |--29.22%--sprintf
          |          |          |
          |          |          |--2.94%--gpiod_get_value_cansleep
          |          |          |

value_show() only returns "0\n" or "1\n", therefore the use of
sprintf() can be avoided

With this patch we get the following result with 'perf record'

--13.89%--sysfs_kf_read
          |
          |--10.72%--dev_attr_show
          |          |
          |          |--9.44%--value_show
          |          |          |
          |          |          |--4.61%--gpiod_get_value_cansleep

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
