Fernando Fernandez Mancera c7fbb8218b sysfs: check visibility before changing group attribute ownership
Since commit 0c17270f9b ("net: sysfs: Implement is_visible for
phys_(port_id, port_name, switch_id)"), __dev_change_net_namespace() can
hit WARN_ON() when trying to change owner of a file that isn't visible.
See the trace below:

Fix this by checking is_visible() before trying to touch the attribute.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
