usb-serial: new API for driver registration

usb-serial: new API for driver registration

This patch (as1522) adds two new routines to the usb-serial core, for
registering and unregistering serial drivers.  Instead of registering
the usb_driver and usb_serial_drivers separately, with error checking
for each one, the drivers can all be registered and unregistered by a
single function call.  This reduces duplicated code.

More importantly, the new core routines change the order in which the
drivers are registered.  Currently the usb-serial drivers are all
registered first and the usb_driver is done last, which leaves a
window for problems.  A udev script may quickly add a new dynamic-ID
for a usb-serial driver, causing the corresponding usb_driver to be
probed.  If the usb_driver hasn't been registered yet then an oops
will occur.

The new routine prevents such problems by registering the usb_driver
first.  To insure that it gets probed properly for already-attached
serial devices, we call driver_attach() after all the usb-serial
drivers have been registered.

Along with adding the new routines, the patch modifies the "generic"
serial driver to use them.  Further patches will similarly modify all
the other in-tree USB serial drivers.
