Simplification of /proc files functions in chip drivers

I moved a large part of the proc and sysctl call-back functions into
sensors.c. The result saved about 100 lines in lm78.c; it now uses only
2 pages according to lsmod, instead of 3! Also, other modules can use
the same functions, saving coding efforts and keeping them small.

I also fixed a fan_div display error.

Expect more code to be moved to sensors.c: I am writing lm75.c, and
most things which are in both modules (and so probably general purpose)
will be moved to sensors.c.

of an integer and a magnitude, the last is the power of ten the value

you must (before registering the ctl_table) set the extra2 field to the
client, and the extra1 field to a function of the form:
void func(struct i2c_client *client, int operation, int ctl_name,
int *nrels_mag, long *results)
This last function can be called for three values of operation. If
operation equals SENSORS_PROC_REAL_INFO, the magnitude should be returned
in nrels_mag. If operation equals SENSORS_PROC_REAL_READ, values should
be read into results. nrels_mag should return the number of elements
read; the maximum number is put in it on entry. Finally, if operation
equals SENSORS_PROC_REAL_WRITE, the values in results should be
written to the chip. nrels_mag contains on entry the number of elements
found.
In all cases, client points to the client we wish to interact with,
and ctl_name is the SYSCTL id of the file we are accessing. */
