add __must_check to device management code

We're getting a lot of crashes in the sysfs/kobject/device/bus/class code and
they're very hard to diagnose.

I'm suspecting that in some cases this is because drivers aren't checking
return values and aren't handling errors correctly.  So the code blithely
blunders on and crashes later in very obscure ways.

There's just no reason to ignore errors which can and do occur.  So the patch
sprinkles __must_check all over these APIs.

Causes 1,513 new warnings.  Heh.
