W1: fix deadlocks and remove w1_control_thread
w1_control_thread was removed which would wake up every second and process newly registered family codes and complete some final cleanup for a removed master. Those routines were moved to the threads that were previously requesting those operations. A new function w1_reconnect_slaves takes care of reconnecting existing slave devices when a new family code is registered or removed. The removal case was missing and would cause a deadlock waiting for the family code reference count to decrease, which will now happen. A problem with registering a family code was fixed. A slave device would be unattached if it wasn't yet claimed, then attached at the end of the list, two unclaimed slaves would cause an infinite loop. The struct w1_bus_master.search now takes a pointer to the struct w1_master device to avoid searching for it, which would have caused a lock ordering deadlock with the removal of w1_control_thread.
