remoteproc: adopt the driver core's alloc/add/del/put naming
To make remoteproc's API more intuitive for developers, we adopt the driver core's naming, i.e. alloc -> add -> del -> put. We'll also add register/unregister when their first user shows up. Otherwise - there's no functional change here. Suggested by Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk>.

This function essentially unrolls rproc_alloc(), by decrementing the

dropped to zero.
