[PATCH] remove devfs hack from misc_register

[PATCH] remove devfs hack from misc_register

[Christoph Hellwig]

There's an (fortunately unused) devfs in misc_register currently,
when the name of the miscdevice contains a slash the name is used
as devfs name instead of misc/<name>.  Kill if as we have .devfs_name
for this kind of stuff now.
