PNP: Hide pnp_bus_type from the non-PNP code
[ Upstream commit edcde848c01eb071a91d479a6b3101d9cf48e905 ]
The pnp_bus_type is defined only when CONFIG_PNP=y, while being
not guarded by ifdeffery in the header. Moreover, it's not used
outside of the PNP code. Move it to the internal header to make
sure no-one will try to (ab)use it.
