Remove device_root device; replace with global_device_list.

The device_root device was only a placeholder device that provided a head
for the global device list, and a parent directory for root bridge devices.

This removes the device and replaces with an explicit global_device_list 
and a separate root directory. We never used any of the other fields in 
device_root, and we special cased it. So, it's better off dead.
