[PATCH 1/3][-mm] add class_reclassify macro

From: Dave Young
Date: Tue May 20 2008 - 05:58:00 EST


Converting class semaphore to mutex cause lockdep warnings due to
class_interface_register/unregister will possible call device_add/del

For the class_interface users here add a class_reclassify macro to
reclassify the lock class of their struct class.
