This adds support for misc devices to report their requested nodename to
userspace.  It also updates a number of misc drivers to provide the
needed subdirectory and device name to be used for them.

After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
concurrent operations involving device objects.  That proved to be
too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
before it happened, we had introduced the functions
device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
drivers to use them.  Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
normal device unregistration instead.

The api for hardware random number generators is currently limited to
devices that never fail. If the hardware is registered as a source for
random numbers it has to work. This prevents the use of i/o based
random number devices where the i/o might fail.

Add a check for errors after the read from a hardware random number device.

This patch is required to support large random numbers retrieved
from the CEX2C cards on System z.

Make it possible to unregister a Hardware Random Number Generator
device object in a safe way during a suspend/resume cycle.

Handle waiting for new random within the drivers themselves, this allows to
use better suited timeouts for the individual rngs.

This also ment that some of the misc drivers had to also be fixed
up as they were assuming the device was a class_device.

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..
