[PATCH 5/9] char: misc: make misc_class a static const structure

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Ivan Orlov <ivan.orlov0322@xxxxxxxxx>

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the misc_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.
