drivers: base: handle module_kboject creation
module_add_driver() relies on module_kset list for /sys/module/<built-in-module>/drivers directory creation. Since, commit 96a1a24 ("kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time") drivers which are initialized from subsys_initcall() or any other higher precedence initcall couldn't find the related kobject entry in the module_kset list because module_kset is not fully populated by the time module_add_driver() refers it. As a consequence, module_add_driver() returns early without calling make_driver_name(). Therefore, /sys/module/<built-in-module>/drivers is never created. Fix this issue by letting module_add_driver() handle module_kobject creation itself.
