Why not add the energy model structure in the struct device directly?

For instance for the em_cpu_get() function, the cpu id allows to retrieve the
cpu device and then from there, the energy model instead of browsing another
list. The em_device life cycle will be tied to the struct device.

Then when the struct device and the em_device are connected, add the debugfs
with a struct device list for those which are energy aware, so you end up with
a structure:

struct em_device {
	struct device *dev;
	struct list_head em_dev_list;
};

(a global single dentry for debugfs to do a recursive delete is enough).

Locks when inspecting and add/removal called from the struct device release
function. So no need of an extra refcounting.

Does it make sense?
