add __must_check to device management code
We're getting a lot of crashes in the sysfs/kobject/device/bus/class code and they're very hard to diagnose. I'm suspecting that in some cases this is because drivers aren't checking return values and aren't handling errors correctly. So the code blithely blunders on and crashes later in very obscure ways. There's just no reason to ignore errors which can and do occur. So the patch sprinkles __must_check all over these APIs. Causes 1,513 new warnings. Heh.
