[PATCH] uml: make hw_controller_type->release exist only for archs needing it

With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>

As suggested by Chris, we can make the "just added" method ->release
conditional to UML only (better: to archs requesting it, i.e.  only UML
currently), so that other archs don't get this unneeded crud, and if UML
won't need it any more we can kill this.
