[RFC/PATCH 10/22] W1: drop main control thread

[Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>]

W1: Drop control thread from w1 core, whatever it does can
    also be done in the context of w1_remove_master_device.
    Also, pin the module when registering new master device
    to make sure that w1 core is not unloaded until last
    device is gone. This simplifies logic a lot.
