[PATCH v2 12/14] PCI: Fix trailing newline handling of resource_alignment_param

The value of the "resource_alignment" can be specified using a kernel
command-line argument (using the "pci=resource_alignment=") or through
the corresponding sysfs object under the /sys/bus/pci path.

Currently, when the value is set via the kernel command-line argument,
and then subsequently accessed through sysfs object, the value read back
will not be correct, as per:

  # grep -oE 'pci=resource_alignment.+' /proc/cmdline
  pci=resource_alignment=20 at 00:1f.2
  # cat /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  20 at 00:1f.

This is also true when the value is set through the sysfs object, but
the trailing newline has not been included, as per:

  # echo -n 20 at 00:1f.2 > /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  # cat /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  20 at 00:1f.

When the value set through the sysfs object includes the trailing
newline, then reading it back will work as intended, as per:

  # echo 20 at 00:1f.2 > /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  # cat /sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment
  20 at 00:1f.2

To fix this inconsistency, append a trailing newline in the show()
function and strip the trailing line in the store() function if one is
present.

Also, allow for the value previously set using either a command-line
argument or through the sysfs object to be cleared at run-time.
