driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iterator
Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely. This patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control structure. The users are also free to call back into class code without worrying about locking. class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking anymore either. Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization with device removal.
