Fix a potential race condition when some hardware monitoring platform
drivers are being unloaded. I believe that the driver data pointer
shouldn't be cleared before all the sysfs files are removed, otherwise
a sysfs callback might attempt to dereference a NULL pointer. I'm not
sure exactly what the driver core protects drivers against, so let's
play it safe.
While we're here, clear the driver data pointer when probe fails, so
as to not leave an invalid pointer behind us.

Remove a superfluous initialization from the vt8231 hwmon driver; the
i2c core does this, and the source field will be vanishing soon.

i2c-isa: Restore driver owner
Commit 2b48716d1d back in January
2006 was a bit overzealous. It removed .owner from all i2c drivers,
including i2c-isa ones, while they still need it.

convert drivers/hwmon/*.c semaphore use to mutexes.
the conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.
all affected hwmon drivers were build-tested.

Now that i2c_add_driver() doesn't need the module owner to be set by
hand, we can delete it from the drivers. This patch catches all of the
drivers that I found in the current tree (if a driver sets the .owner by
hand, it's not a problem, just not needed.)

We should use the i2c_driver.driver's .name and .owner fields
instead of the i2c_driver's ones.
This patch updates the hwmon drivers.
