driver core: attribute_container: Remove unused functions

I can't find any use of 'attribute_container_add_class_device_adapter'
or 'attribute_container_trigger' in git history.
Their export decls went in 2006:
commit 1740757e8f94 ("[PATCH] Driver Core: remove unused exports")

and their docs disappeared in 2016:
commit 47cb398dd75a ("Docs: sphinxify device-drivers.tmpl")

Remove them.

scsi: drivers: base: Support atomic version of attribute_container_device_trigger

attribute_container_device_trigger invokes callbacks that may fail for one
or more classdevs, for instance, the transport_add_class_device callback,
called during transport creation, does memory allocation. This
information, though, is not propagated to upper layers, and any driver
using the attribute_container_device_trigger API will not know whether any,
some, or all callbacks succeeded.

This patch implements a safe version of this dispatcher, to either succeed
all the callbacks or revert to the original state.

device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir

The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.

Clean up the users as follows:

1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.

2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.

3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h

4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).

Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.

Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming
from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.

As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

[SCSI] transport_class: BUG if we can't release the attribute container

Every current transport class calls transport_container_release but
ignores the return value. This is catastrophic if it returns an error
because the containers are part of a global list and the next action of
almost every transport class is to free the memory used by the
container.

Fix this by making transport_container_release a void, but making it BUG
if attribute_container_release returns an error ... this catches the
root cause of a system panic much earlier. If we don't do this, we get
an eventual BUG when the attribute container list notices the corruption
caused by the freed memory it's still referencing.

Also made attribute_container_release __must_check as a reminder.

[SCSI] attribute_container: update to use the group interface

This patch is the beginning of moving the attribute_containers to use
attribute groups exclusively. The attr element is now deprecated and
will eventually be removed (along with all the hand rolled code for
doing exactly what attribute groups do) when all the consumers are
converted to attribute groups.

[SCSI] correct attribute_container list usage

One of the changes in the attribute_container code in the scsi-misc tree
was to add a lock to protect the list of devices per container. This,
unfortunately, leads to potential scheduling while atomic problems if
there's a sleep in the function called by a trigger.

The correct solution is to use the kernel klist infrastructure instead
which allows lockless traversal of a list.

[SCSI] correct transport class abstraction to work outside SCSI

I recently tried to construct a totally generic transport class and
found there were certain features missing from the current abstract
transport class. Most notable is that you have to hang the data on the
class_device but most of the API is framed in terms of the generic
device, not the class_device.

These changes are two fold

- Provide the class_device to all of the setup and configure APIs
- Provide and extra API to take the device and the attribute class and
return the corresponding class_device

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
