The decision to show or not an attribute is done at the attribute file
creation time, once. If the module cros_ec_sysfs is loaded before
cros_ec_sensorhub, the attribute kb_wake_angle will never be shown. If
it is loaded after, and there are 2 accelerometers, the is_visible()
function will return true and the attribute is shown.

This patch ensures the attribute is_visible() is run again after the
sensorhub driver is loaded.
