[PATCH RESEND drm-misc 3/4] drm/fbdev/core: make fb_class constant

["Ricardo B. Marliere" <ricardo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take
a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, so move the fb_class structure to be declared at build time placing
it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at
boot time.
