Subject: [PATCH] drivers/core: Remove lockdep_set_novalidate_class() usage

This patch experimentally removes lockdep_set_novalidate_class() call
from device_initialize() introduced by commit 1704f47b50b5 ("lockdep:
Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion"), for this commit made it
impossible to find real deadlocks unless timing dependent testings manage
to trigger hung task like [1] and [2]. Let's try if we can find remaining
drivers which need to use separate classes without causing too many crashes
to continue.

Since the possibility of deadlock is not reported by lockdep, we can't find
real deadlocks unless khungtaskd reports it as a hung task.

In driver core code (an example shown above) and in many driver codes
(an example shown below). Since dev->mutex is hidden from lockdep checks,
real deadlocks cannot be reported until khungtaskd reports as hung tasks.

Since dev->mutex is hidden from lockdep checks, real deadlocks cannot be
reported until khungtaskd reports as hung tasks.
