W1: fix deadlocks and remove w1_control_thread



w1_control_thread was removed which would wake up every second and process
newly registered family codes and complete some final cleanup for a
removed master.  Those routines were moved to the threads that were
previously requesting those operations.  A new function
w1_reconnect_slaves takes care of reconnecting existing slave devices when
a new family code is registered or removed.  The removal case was missing
and would cause a deadlock waiting for the family code reference count to
decrease, which will now happen.  A problem with registering a family code
was fixed.  A slave device would be unattached if it wasn't yet claimed,
then attached at the end of the list, two unclaimed slaves would cause an
infinite loop.

The struct w1_bus_master.search now takes a pointer to the struct
w1_master device to avoid searching for it, which would have caused a
lock ordering deadlock with the removal of w1_control_thread.
