Publicly expose functions for detecting devices and removing detected
devices.
Currently an i2c adapter only probes/detects new devices when the adapter
is added or when a new i2c driver is added. This adds a new function,
i2c_adapter_probe(), that allows detecting sensors at any time.
Furthermore, the function i2c_adapter_remove_probed() is added to remove
the devices added by i2c_adapter_probe() at any time.
The intended use of these functions is for LEGO MINDSTORMS sensors. These
are hot-plugable I2C devices. When a sensor is connected, i2c_adapter_probe()
is called to automatically configure the sensor. When the sensor is
disconnected, i2c_adapter_remove_probed() is called to remove the
automatically configured device.
