i2c: ensure timely release of driver-allocated resources


More and more drivers rely on devres to manage their resources, however
if bus' probe() and release() methods are not trivial and control some
of resources as well (for example enable or disable clocks, or attach
device to a power domain), we need to make sure that driver-allocated
resources are released immediately after driver's remove() method
returns, and not postponed until driver core gets around to releasing
resources. To fix that we open a new devres group before calling
driver's probe() and explicitly release it when we return from driver's
remove().
