[PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_state

The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

 - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
 - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
 - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
 - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
 - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

-Driver Detach Power Management
-
-The kernel now supports the ability to place a device in a low-power
-state when it is detached from its driver, which happens when its
-module is removed. 
-
-Each device contains a 'detach_state' file in its sysfs directory
-which can be used to control this state. Reading from this file
-displays what the current detach state is set to. This is 0 (On) by
-default. A user may write a positive integer value to this file in the
-range of 1-4 inclusive. 
-
-A value of 1-3 will indicate the device should be placed in that
-low-power state, which will cause ->suspend() to be called for that
-device. A value of 4 indicates that the device should be shutdown, so
-->shutdown() will be called for that device. 
-
-The driver is responsible for reinitializing the device when the
-module is re-inserted during it's ->probe() (or equivalent) method. 
-The driver core will not call any extra functions when binding the
-device to the driver.
