[PATCH 08/10] driver core: add default groups to struct class

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

We should be using groups, not attribute lists, for classes to allow
subdirectories, and soon, binary files.  Groups are just more flexible
overall, so add them.

The dev_attrs list will go away after all in-kernel users are converted
to use dev_groups.
