[ Upstream commitf95bbfe185] module_add_driver() relies on module_kset list for /sys/module/<built-in-module>/drivers directory creation. Since, commit96a1a2412a("kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time") drivers which are initialized from subsys_initcall() or any other higher precedence initcall couldn't find the related kobject entry in the module_kset list because module_kset is not fully populated by the time module_add_driver() refers it. As a consequence, module_add_driver() returns early without calling make_driver_name(). Therefore, /sys/module/<built-in-module>/drivers is never created. Fix this issue by letting module_add_driver() handle module_kobject creation itself.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
