[PATCH] drivers: core: remove device_link argument from class_compat_[create|remove]_link

[Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com>]

After 7e722083fcc3 ("i2c: Remove I2C_COMPAT config symbol and related
code") there's no caller left passing a non-null device_link argument.
So remove this argument to simplify the code.
