driver core: class: implement class_get/put without the private pointer.
Much like what was done in commit 273afac6 ("driver core: bus: implement bus_get/put() without the private pointer"), it is time to move the driver core away from using the internal private pointer in struct class in order to enable it to be always a constant and be placed in read-only memory in the future. First step in doing this is to create a helper function that turns a 'struct class' into 'struct subsys_private' called class_to_subsys(). class_to_subsys() walks the list of registered busses in the system and finds the matching one based on the pointer to the class itself. As this is a short list, and this function is not on any fast path, it should not be noticable. Implement class_get() and class_put() using this new helper function. Cc: "Rafael J.
