Replace the open coded registration of the cdev and dev with the
new device_add_cdev() helper. The helper replaces a common pattern by
taking the proper reference against the parent device and adding both
the cdev and the device.

I cannot test this at this point as security tree does not include
the commit that is dependent on this. I'm also wondering if this
commit is even going through my tree to upstream?

I can take it all at once through my tree.

thanks,
