Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fbdev/efifb: Register sysfs groups through driver core

The driver core can register and cleanup sysfs groups already.
Make use of that functionality to simplify the error handling and
cleanup.

Also avoid a UAF race during unregistering where the sysctl attributes
were usable after the info struct was freed.
