Subject: [GIT PULL] Replace module_init with device_initcall in non modules

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.
