fbdev: Use device_create_with_groups() to fix sysfs groups registration race
[ Upstream commit 68eeb0871e986ae5462439dae881e3a27bcef85f ] The fbdev sysfs attributes are registered after sending the uevent for the device creation, leaving a race window where e.g. udev rules may not be able to access the sysfs attributes because the registration is not done yet. Fix this by switching to device_create_with_groups(). This also results in a nice cleanup. After switching to device_create_with_groups() all that is left of fb_init_device() is setting the drvdata and that can be passed to device_create[_with_groups]() too. After which fb_init_device() can be completely removed. Dropping fb_init_device() + fb_cleanup_device() in turn allows removing fb_info.class_flag as they were the only user of this field.
