[PATCH] Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.

Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.

To ease the task of locating class devices derived from a certain
device create symlinks from parent device to its class devices.
Change USB host class device name from usbX to usb_hostX to avoid
conflict when creating aforementioned links.

Tweaked by Greg to have the symlink be "class_name:class_device_name" in
order to prevent duplicate links.
