Subject: [PATCH v2] mei: make mei_class a static const structure

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

Suggested-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

V1 -> V2:
- Add extra new line after mei_class definition
- Simplify 'class_register' call error processing logic
- Remove redundant 'err' label in 'mei_init' function
