Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.

Having 3 static kobjects in one structure is not only foolish, but ripe
for nasty race conditions if handled improperly.  We also rename the
field to catch any potential users of it (not that there should be
outside of the driver core...)

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.  We also
rename power_subsys to power_kset to catch all users of the variable and
we properly export it so that people don't have to guess that it really
is present in the system.

The pseries code is wierd, why is it createing /sys/power if CONFIG_PM
is disabled?  Oh well, stupid big boxes ignoring config options...

Now ksets can be dynamically created on the fly, no static definitions
are required.  Thanks to Miklos for hints on how to make this work
better for the callers.

And thanks to Kay for finding some stupid bugs in my original version
and pointing out that we need to handle the fact that kobject's can have
a kset as a parent and to handle that properly in kobject_add().

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Kay pointed out that kobject_set_name was being very stupid, doing two
allocations for every call, when it should just be using the kernel
function kvasprintf() instead.

This change adds the internal kobject_set_name_vargs() function, which
other follow-on patches will be using.
