kobject: add kobject_add_ng function

Browse Source 
This is what the kobject_add function is going to become.

Add this to the kernel and then we can convert the tree over to use it.

*
* The kobject name is set and added to the kobject hierarchy in this
* function.
*
* If @parent is set, then the parent of the @kobj will be set to it.
* If @parent is NULL, then the parent of the @kobj will be set to the
* kobject associted with the kset assigned to this kobject. If no kset
* is assigned to the kobject, then the kobject will be located in the
* root of the sysfs tree.
*
* If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
* properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
*
* If the function is successful, the only way to properly clean up the
* memory is with a call to kobject_del(), in which case, a call to
* kobject_put() is not necessary (kobject_del() does the final
* kobject_put() to call the release function in the ktype's release
* pointer.)
*
* Under no instance should the kobject that is passed to this function
* be directly freed with a call to kfree(), that can leak memory.
*
* Note, no uevent will be created with this call, the caller should set
* up all of the necessary sysfs files for the object and then call
* kobject_uevent() with the UEVENT_ADD parameter to ensure that
* userspace is properly notified of this kobject's creation.
