[PATCH 1/2] driver core: Add device_create_files() and device_remove_files() helpers

[Takashi Iwai]

There are lots of open codes that call multiple device_create_file()
or device_remove_file() sequentially.  This patch provides the helper
functions for such cases to be performed in a shot.

Also, device_create_files() rolls back at the error path, and this
will simplify the error handling code in many drivers, too.
