Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] driver core: faux: Add sysfs groups after probing

Move sysfs group adding to the bus_type's probe. Specifically after the
user's probe callback succeeds. Removal is also done in the bus_type's
remove callback.

This approach approximates the order in which the driver core adds and
removes driver .dev_groups of a device to avoid lifetime issues, which
can't be used in this case because the faux_bus is a single driver bus.

This effectively lets consumers of this API initialize resources on the
.probe callback and then use them inside is_visible/show/store methods,
through faux_device_get_drvdata() without races.
