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. :)
