drm: make sysfs device always available for minors

For each minor we allocate a sysfs device as minor->kdev. Currently, this
is allocated and registered in drm_minor_register(). This makes it
impossible to add sysfs-attributes to the device before it is registered.
Therefore, they are not added atomically, nor can we move device_add()
*after* ->load() is called.

This patch makes minor->kdev available early, but only adds the device
during minor-registration. Note that the registration is still called
before ->load() as debugfs needs to be split, too. This will be fixed in
follow-ups.

- * drm_sysfs_device_add - adds a class device to sysfs for a character driver
- * @dev: DRM device to be added
- * @head: DRM head in question
+ * drm_sysfs_minor_alloc() - Allocate sysfs device for given minor
+ * @minor: minor to allocate sysfs device for
  *
- * Add a DRM device to the DRM's device model class.  We use @dev's PCI device
- * as the parent for the Linux device, and make sure it has a file containing
- * the driver we're using (for userspace compatibility).
+ * This allocates a new sysfs device for @minor and returns it. The device is
+ * not registered nor linked. The caller has to use device_add() and
+ * device_del() to register and unregister it.
+ *
+ * Note that dev_get_drvdata() on the new device will return the minor.
+ * However, the device does not hold a ref-count to the minor nor to the
+ * underlying drm_device. This is unproblematic as long as you access the
+ * private data only in sysfs callbacks. device_del() disables those
+ * synchronously, so they cannot be called after you cleanup a minor.
