One function is ipack_device_init(). If it fails, the caller should execute
ipack_put_device().
The second function is ipack_device_add that only adds the device. If
it fails, the caller should execute ipack_put_device().
Then the device is removed with refcount = 0, as device_register() kernel
documentation says.
ipack_device_del() is added to remove the device.

Its contents are merged into ipack.h. So this file is not needed.
Doing that, it simplifies the ipack-related driver development.
