Input: serio - add helper macro for serio_driver boilerplate

This patch introduces the module_serio_driver macro which is a
convenience macro for serio driver modules similar to
module_platform_driver. It is intended to be used by drivers
which init/exit section does nothing but registers/unregisters
the serio driver. By using this macro it is possible to eliminate
a few lines of boilerplate code per serio driver.

Based on work done by Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> for
other buses (i2c and spi).
