The kobject in the bridge code is only used for registering with sysfs,
not for any lifespan rules.  This patch changes it to be only a pointer
and use the simpler api for this kind of thing.

The kobject debugging messages are a mess.  This provides a unified

kobject_init should not be grabing any references, but only initializing

for when a kset is present in the kobject.

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.

kernel_kset does not need to be a kset, but a much simpler kobject now

This macro is no longer used.  ksets should be created dynamically with

There is no firmware "subsystem" it's just a directory in /sys that
other portions of the kernel want to hook into.  So make it a kobject
not a kset to help alivate anyone who tries to do some odd kset-like

Remove the no longer needed subsys_attributes, they are all converted to
the more sensical kobj_attributes.

There is no longer a magic fallback in sysfs attribute operations, all
kobjects which create simple attributes need explicitely a ktype
assigned, which tells the core what was intended here.
