This driver did not originally set kobj.parent so it likely had
potential a use after free bug which this patch fixes.
We convert from device_register to device_initialize/cdev_device_add.
While we are at it we use put_device instead of kfree (as recommended
by the device_initialize documentation). We also remove an unnecessary
extra get_device from the code.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

The change fixes improper check for a returned error value by
class_create() function, which on error returns ERR_PTR() value, thus the
original check always results in a dead code on error path.

Commit d4edcf0d56 ("mm/gup: Switch all callers of get_user_pages() to
not pass tsk/mm") switched get_user_pages() callers to the simpler model
where they no longer pass in the thread and mm pointer. But since then
we've merged changes to a few drivers that re-introduce use of the old
interface. Let's fix them up.
They continued to work fine (thanks to the truly disgusting macros
introduced in commit cde70140fe: "mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages()
functions"), but cause unnecessary build noise.

Add mport character device driver to provide user space interface to
basic RapidIO subsystem operations.
