This patch splits CONFIG_I8K compile option to SENSORS_DELL_SMM and CONFIG_I8K.
Option SENSORS_DELL_SMM is now used to enable compilation of dell-smm-hwmon
driver and old CONFIG_I8K option to enable /proc/i8k interface in driver.
So this change allows to compile dell-smm-hwmon driver without legacy /proc/i8k
interface which is needed only for old Dell Inspirion models or for userspace
i8kutils package.
For backward compatibility when CONFIG_I8K is enabled then also SENSORS_DELL_SMM
is enabled and so driver dell-smm-hwmon (with /proc/i8k) is compiled.

This commit moves i8k driver to hwmon tree under name dell-smm-hwmon which is
better name then abbreviation i8k. For backward compatibility is added macro
MODULE_ALIAS("i8k") so modprobe will load driver also old name i8k. CONFIG_I8K
compile option was not changed.
This commit also adds me as maintainer of this new dell-smm-hwmon driver and
remove Guenter Roeck from list who is implicit maintainer all hwmon drivers.
