kobject: clean up rpadlpar horrid sysfs abuse

rpadlpar pci hotplug driver was doing some pretty bad stuff with the
sysfs files.  This cleans up the logic to be sane and gets rid of the
gratuitous kset that is not needed for a simple directory like this.

Note, this patch is not even build tested, let alone run-time tested.
Someone with access to this hardware and can test would be greatly
appreciated.

fix struct user_info export's sysfs interaction

Clean up the use of ksets and kobjects. Kobjects are instances of
objects (like struct user_info), ksets are collections of objects of a
similar type (like the uids directory containing the user_info directories).
So, use kobjects for the user_info directories, and a kset for the "uids"
directory.

On object cleanup, the final kobject_put() was missing.

And thanks to Kay for finding some stupid bugs in my original version
and pointing out that we need to handle the fact that kobject's can have
a kset as a parent and to handle that properly in kobject_add().

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

function kvasprintf() instead.

This change adds the internal kobject_set_name_vargs() function, which

PM: Acquire device locks on suspend

This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are
sent to drivers.  The major changes are that now the PM core acquires
every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to
device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del()
during suspends will block.

It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the
help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback
introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr
and cpuid) that need to use it.
