Revert "sysfs, driver-core: remove unused {sysfs|device}_schedule_callback_owner()"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit d1ba277e79.

        I'm sorry but can you please revert the whole series?
        get_active() waiting while a node is deactivated has potential
        to lead to deadlock and that deactivate/reactivate interface is
        something fundamentally flawed and that cgroup will have to work
        with the remove_self() like everybody else.  IOW, I think the
        first posting was correct.

/**
* device_schedule_callback_owner - helper to schedule a callback for a device
* @dev: device.
* @func: callback function to invoke later.
* @owner: module owning the callback routine
*
* Attribute methods must not unregister themselves or their parent device
* (which would amount to the same thing). Attempts to do so will deadlock,
* since unregistration is mutually exclusive with driver callbacks.
*
* Instead methods can call this routine, which will attempt to allocate
* and schedule a workqueue request to call back @func with @dev as its
* argument in the workqueue's process context. @dev will be pinned until
* @func returns.
*
* This routine is usually called via the inline device_schedule_callback(),
* which automatically sets @owner to THIS_MODULE.
*
* Returns 0 if the request was submitted, -ENOMEM if storage could not
* be allocated, -ENODEV if a reference to @owner isn't available.
*
* NOTE: This routine won't work if CONFIG_SYSFS isn't set! It uses an
* underlying sysfs routine (since it is intended for use by attribute
* methods), and if sysfs isn't available you'll get nothing but -ENOSYS.
