[PATCH] pktcdvd: simplify the class_pktcdvd logic

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

There is no need to dynamically create and destory the class_pktcdvd
structure, just make it static and remove the memory allocation logic
which simplifies and cleans up the logic a lot.

Note: I would like to take this through the driver-core tree as I have
later struct class cleanups that depend on this change being made to the
tree if that's ok with the maintainer of this file.

I'm going to defer to you on this kind of stuff, so if you think it's
fine, then go for it.

Thanks!  And sorry for sending this twice, I forgot I had previously
sent this a few days prior.  Too many patches to juggle over here...
