RDMA/uverbs: Use cdev_device_add() instead of cdev_add()
Instead of doing two step process to add char device and create underlying device, use cdev_device_add() which does both. Currently a kobject per uverbs_device is created to keep reference to its holding ib_uverbs_device in addition to its underlying device 'dev'. Instead just use uverbs_device->dev to keep a reference to. With this change there is single reference tracker for ib_uverbs_device structure. This allows for subsequent patch to registers group attribute as well using single API cdev_device_add().
