kobject: update documentation

Update kobject documentation:

- Update structure definitions.
- Remove documentation of removed struct subsystem.

(First shot, uevent_ops probably need some documentation as well.)

-4. subsystems
-
-4.1 Description
-
-A subsystem represents a significant entity of code that maintains an
-arbitrary number of sets of objects of various types. Since the number
-of ksets and the type of objects they contain are variable, a
-generic representation of a subsystem is minimal. 
-
-
-struct subsystem {
-	struct kset		kset;
-	struct rw_semaphore	rwsem;
-};
-
-int subsystem_register(struct subsystem *);
-void subsystem_unregister(struct subsystem *);
-
-struct subsystem * subsys_get(struct subsystem * s);
-void subsys_put(struct subsystem * s);
-
-
-A subsystem contains an embedded kset so:
-
-- It can be represented in the object hierarchy via the kset's
-  embedded kobject. 
-
-- It can maintain a default list of objects of one type. 
-
-Additional ksets may attach to the subsystem simply by referencing the
-subsystem before they are registered. (This one-way reference means
-that there is no way to determine the ksets that are attached to the
-subsystem.) 
-
-All ksets that are attached to a subsystem share the subsystem's R/W
-semaphore. 
-
-
-4.2 subsystem Programming Interface.
-
-The subsystem programming interface is simple and does not offer the
-flexibility that the kset and kobject programming interfaces do. They
-may be registered and unregistered, as well as reference counted. Each
-call forwards the calls to their embedded ksets (which forward the
-calls to their embedded kobjects).
-
-
-4.3 Helpers
-
-A number of macros are available to make dealing with subsystems and
-their embedded objects easier. 
-
-
-decl_subsys(name,type)
-
-Declares a subsystem named '<name>_subsys', with an embedded kset of
-type <type>. For example, 
-
-decl_subsys(devices,&ktype_devices);
-
-is equivalent to doing:
-
-struct subsystem device_subsys = {
-       .kset = {
-	     .kobj = {
-		   .name = "devices",
-	     },
-	     .ktype = &ktype_devices,
-	}
-}; 
-
-
-The objects that are registered with a subsystem that use the
-subsystem's default list must have their kset ptr set properly. These
-objects may have embedded kobjects, ksets, or other subsystems. The
-following helpers make setting the kset easier: 
-
-
-kobj_set_kset_s(obj,subsys)
-
-- Assumes that obj->kobj exists, and is a struct kobject. 
-- Sets the kset of that kobject to the subsystem's embedded kset.
-
-
-kset_set_kset_s(obj,subsys)
-
-- Assumes that obj->kset exists, and is a struct kset.
-- Sets the kset of the embedded kobject to the subsystem's 
-  embedded kset. 
-
-subsys_set_kset(obj,subsys)
-
-- Assumes obj->subsys exists, and is a struct subsystem.
-- Sets obj->subsys.kset.kobj.kset to the subsystem's embedded kset.
-
-
-4.4 sysfs
-
-subsystems are represented in sysfs via their embedded kobjects. They
-follow the same rules as previously mentioned with no exceptions. They
-typically receive a top-level directory in sysfs, except when their
-embedded kobject is part of another kset, or the parent of the
-embedded kobject is explicitly set. 
-
-Note that the subsystem's embedded kset must be 'attached' to the
-subsystem itself in order to use its rwsem. This is done after
-kset_add() has been called. (Not before, because kset_add() uses its
-subsystem for a default parent if it doesn't already have one).
