Revert "sysfs, driver-core: remove unused {sysfs|device}_schedule_callback_owner()"
This reverts commit d1ba277e79889085a2faec3b68b91ce89c63f888. As reported by Stephen, this patch breaks linux-next as a ppc patch suddenly (after 2 years) started using this old api call. So revert it for now, it will go away in 3.15-rc2 when we can change the PPC call to the new api.

+ * and schedule a workqueue request to call back @func with @data as its
+ * argument in the workqueue's process context. @kobj will be pinned
+ * until @func returns.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 if the request was submitted, -ENOMEM if storage could not
+ * be allocated, -ENODEV if a reference to @owner isn't available,
+ * -EAGAIN if a callback has already been scheduled for @kobj.
