libnvdimm: register nvdimm_bus devices with an nd_bus driver
A recent effort to add a new nvdimm bus provider attribute highlighted a race between interrogating nvdimm_bus->nd_desc and nvdimm_bus tear down. The typical way to handle these races is to take the device_lock() in the attribute method and validate that the device is still active. In order for a device to be 'active' it needs to be associated with a driver. So, we create the small boilerplate for a driver and register nvdimm_bus devices on the 'nvdimm_bus_type' bus. A result of this change is that ndbusX devices now appear under /sys/bus/nd/devices. In fact this makes /sys/class/nd somewhat redundant, but removing that will need to take a long deprecation period given its use by ndctl binaries in the field. This change naturally pulls code from drivers/nvdimm/core.c to drivers/nvdimm/bus.c, so it is a nice code organization clean-up as well.
