Now br_sysfs_if file flush doesn't have attr show. To read it will
cause kernel panic after users chmod u+r this file.
Xiong found this issue when running the commands:
ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link add type veth
ip link set veth0 master br0
chmod u+r /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush
timeout 3 cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush
kernel crashed with NULL a pointer dereference call trace.
This patch is to fix it by return -EINVAL when brport_attr->show
is null, just the same as the check for brport_attr->store in
brport_store().
Fixes: 9cf637473c85 ("bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding table")
