driver core: fix namespace issue with devices assigned to classes
- uses a kset in "struct class" to keep track of all directories
belonging to this class
- merges with the /sys/devices/virtual logic.
- removes the namespace-dir if the last member of that class
leaves the directory.
There may be locking or refcounting fixes left, I stopped when it seemed
to work with network and sound modules. :)
