Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, remove the usb_class structure and create the usbmisc_class const class structure declared at build time which places it into read-only memory, instead of having it to be dynamically allocated at load time. Additionally, now we register usb class at startup and unregister it when shutting down, so we don't have to count uses of the class. Therefore we don't need the 'usb_class' structure anymore. Due to this fact, remove all static functions related to class initialization and deinitialization. We can't use them in 'usb.c' since they are static and we don't really need them anymore. Since we have to register the class in usb_init function in 'usb.c' and use it in 'file.c' as well, declare the usbmisc_class structure as 'export' in the 'usb.h' file. Debatable moment: the class registration and unregistration functions could be extracted to the 'file.c'. I think we don't want to do this since it would be one-line functions. They would make the code paths more confusing and add calling overhead.
