Kay Sievers 4995f8ef9d vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"
During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of
vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace
uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless.

A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the
work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers:
  $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
  real    0m1.142s
  user    0m0.015s
  sys     0m0.540s

If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the
tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what
the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers:
  $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
  real    0m0.152s
  user    0m0.030s
  sys     0m0.072s
