driver core: clean up the logic to determine which /sys/dev/ directory to use

When a dev_t is set in a struct device, an symlink in /sys/dev/ is
created for it either under /sys/dev/block/ or /sys/dev/char/ depending
on the device type.

The logic to determine this would trigger off of the class of the
object, and the kobj_type set in that location.  But it turns out that
this deep nesting isn't needed at all, as it's either a choice of block
or "everything else" which is a char device.  So make the logic a lot
more simple and obvious, and remove the incorrect comments in the code
that tried to document something that was not happening at all (it is
impossible to set class->dev_kobj to NULL as the class core prevented
that from happening.

This removes the only place that class->dev_kobj was being used, so
after this, it can be removed entirely.
