vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"
During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of
vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace
uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless.
A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the
work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m1.142s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.540s
If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the
tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what
the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m0.152s
user 0m0.030s
sys 0m0.072s
