rfkill: export persistent attribute in sysfs
This information allows userspace to implement a hybrid policy where
it can store the rfkill soft-blocked state in platform non-volatile
storage if available, and if not then file-based storage can be used.
Some users prefer platform non-volatile storage because of the behaviour
when dual-booting multiple versions of Linux, or if the rfkill setting
is changed in the BIOS setting screens, or if the BIOS responds to
wireless-toggle hotkeys itself before the relevant platform driver has
been loaded.
