ACPI: bgrt: Fix CFI violation

clang's Control Flow Integrity requires that every indirect call has a
valid target, which is based on the type of the function pointer. The
*_show() functions in this file are written as if they will be called
from dev_attr_show(); however, they will be called from
sysfs_kf_seq_show() because the files were created by
sysfs_create_group() and the sysfs ops are based on kobj_sysfs_ops
because of kobject_add_and_create(). Because the *_show() functions do
not match the type of the show() member in struct kobj_attribute, there
is a CFI violation.

Convert these functions to the type of the show() member in struct
kobj_attribute so that there is no more CFI violation. Because these
functions are all so similar, combine them into a macro.
