[PATCH v2 1/3] nvmem: core: make default user binary file root-access only

As required by many providers like at24/at25/mxs-ocotp/qfprom and may be
other providers would want to allow root-only to read the nvmem content.
So making the defaults to be root-only access would address the request
and also provide flexibility to providers to specify there own permissions
on top of the root-only using the perm flag in nvmem_config.
Making this dynamic did cut down lot of static binary attributes in the
code.
