Add helper functions to create a device on the auxiliary bus.

This is meant for fairly simple usage of the auxiliary bus, to avoid having
the same code repeated in the different drivers.

This loses possible error return values from __auxiliary_device_add().
I'd suggest to return ERR_PTR(ret) here and in the
auxiliary_device_init() chunks and ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) in case of kzalloc()
failure.
