[PATCH]: HVCS char driver janitoring: fix compile warnings

[linas@austin.ibm.com (Linas Vepstas)]

This is a non-urgent patch. 

I can't figure out who the upstream maintainer for char drivers 
is supposed to be. Can this patch be applied? 

--linas

This patch removes an pair of irritating compiler warnings:

drivers/char/hvcs.c:1605: warning: ignoring return value of
sysfs_create_group declared with attribute warn_unused_result
drivers/char/hvcs.c:1639: warning: ignoring return value of
driver_create_file declared with attribute warn_unused_result

Doing this required moving a big block of code from the bottom 
of the file to the top, so as to avoid the need for (irritating) 
forward declarations.
