Add a new helper to handle a single attr multi ioctl operation that can be shared between the native and compat ioctl implementation. There is a slight change in behaviour in that we don't break out of the loop when copying in the attribute name fails. The previous behaviour was rather inconsistent here as it continued for any other kind of error, and that we don't clear the flags in the structure returned to userspace, a behavior only introduced as a bug fix in the last merge window.

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 Restructured Text 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.
