The Makefile currently controlling compilation of this code is obj-y,
meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the couple traces of modular usage, so that when reading
the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
Since module_misc_device translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

Many modules call misc_register and misc_deregister in its module init
and exit methods without any additional code. This ends up being
boilerplate. This patch adds helper macro module_misc_device(), that
replaces module_init()/ module_exit() with template functions.
This patch also converts drivers to use new macro.
Change since v1:
Add device.h include in miscdevice.h as module_driver macro was not
available from other include files in some architectures.

The sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function uses two copy_from_user calls to
retrieve the sclp request from user space. The first copy_from_user
fetches the length of the request which is stored in the first two
bytes of the request. The second copy_from_user gets the complete
sclp request, but this copies the length field a second time.
A malicious user may have changed the length in the meantime.

Add a character misc device "sclp_ctl" that allows to run SCCBs
from user space using the SCLP_CTL_SCCB ioctl.
