This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use device_initcall().
The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes __initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto device_initcall. A couple files show a larger negative diffstat, representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here vs. previously relying on the linker to dispose of it. We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid a compile fail, as testing has shown.
