[PATCH 05/16] deps: introduce initcalls annotated with a struct device_driver

Make it possible to identify initcalls before calling them by adding
a pointer to a struct device_driver to the stored pointer to an initcall.

This is e.g. necessary in order to sort initcalls by whatever means
before calling them.

To annotate an initcall, the following changes are necessary on
drivers which want to offer that feature:

now				annotated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
pure_initcall(fn)		annotated_initcall(pure, fn, dev_drv)
core_initcall(fn)		annotated_initcall(core, fn, dev_drv)
core_initcall_sync(fn)		annotated_initcall_sync(core, fn, dev_drv)
...
late_initcall(fn)		annotated_initcall(late, fn, dev_drv)
module_init(fn)			annotated_module_init(fn, dev_drv)

module_platform_driver(drv)	no changes necessary, done automatically
module_platform_driver_probe(drv, probe)	no changes necessary
module_i2c_driver(i2c_drv)	no changes necessary, done automatically

E.g. to make the driver sram offering an annotated initcall the
following patch is necessary:

----
-postcore_initcall(sram_init);
+annotated_initcall(postcore, sram_init, sram_driver.driver);
----

These changes can be done without any fear. If the feature is disabled,
which is the default, the new macros will just map to the old ones and
nothing is changed at all.
