Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serdev: do not generate modaliases for controllers

Serdev controllers are not bound to any drivers and it therefore makes
no sense to generate modaliases for them.

This has already been fixed separately for ACPI controllers for which
uevent errors were also being logged during probe due to the missing
ACPI companions (from which ACPI modaliases are generated).

This patch moves the modalias handling from the bus type to the client
device type. Specifically, this means that only serdev devices (a.k.a.
clients or slaves) will have have MODALIAS fields in their uevent
environments and corresponding modalias sysfs attributes.
