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.

How do you detect the hot-plug events?

There are "port" drivers that do this. An I2C adapter is assigned to 
each port via device-tree or platform data struct.

Port driver code if you are interested:
- 
https://github.com/ev3dev/lego-linux-drivers/blob/master/ev3/legoev3_ports_in.c
- 
https://github.com/ev3dev/lego-linux-drivers/blob/master/evb/evb_ports_in.c

In particular, here is where we call the new i2c_adapter_probe() 
function:
