driver-core: platform: Provide helpers for multi-driver modules

Some modules register several sub-drivers. Provide a helper that makes
it easy to register and unregister a list of sub-drivers, as well as
unwind properly on error.

Kernel modules can be composed of several platform drivers. The platform core
provides helpers to register and unregister an array of drivers:
int __platform_register_drivers(struct platform_driver * const *drivers,
unsigned int count, struct module *owner);
void platform_unregister_drivers(struct platform_driver * const *drivers,
unsigned int count);
If one of the drivers fails to register, all drivers registered up to that
point will be unregistered in reverse order. Note that there is a convenience
macro that passes THIS_MODULE as owner parameter:
#define platform_register_driver(drivers, count)
