Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a struct

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.
