class: move driver core specific parts to a private structure
This moves the portions of struct class that are dynamic (kobject and lock and lists) out of the main structure and into a dynamic, private, structure. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
