power_supply: Change ownership from driver to core

Change the ownership of power_supply structure from each driver
implementing the class to the power supply core.

The patch changes power_supply_register() function thus all drivers
implementing power supply class are adjusted.

Each driver provides the implementation of power supply. However it
should not be the owner of power supply class instance because it is
exposed by core to other subsystems with power_supply_get_by_name().
These other subsystems have no knowledge when the driver will unregister
the power supply. This leads to several issues when driver is unbound -
mostly because user of power supply accesses freed memory.

Instead let the core own the instance of struct 'power_supply'.  Other
users of this power supply will still access valid memory because it
will be freed when device reference count reaches 0. Currently this
means "it will leak" but power_supply_put() call in next patches will
solve it.

This solves invalid memory references in following race condition
scenario:

Thread 1: charger manager
Thread 2: power supply driver, used by charger manager

THREAD 1 (charger manager)         THREAD 2 (power supply driver)
==========================         ==============================
psy = power_supply_get_by_name()
                                   Driver unbind, .remove
                                     power_supply_unregister()
                                     Device fully removed
psy->get_property()

The 'get_property' call is executed in invalid context because the driver was
unbound and struct 'power_supply' memory was freed.

This could be observed easily with charger manager driver (here compiled
with max17040 fuel gauge):
