vfio: mdev: replace mtty_dev->vd_class with a const struct class

The class_create() call has been deprecated in favor of class_register()
as the driver core now allows for a struct class to be in read-only
memory. Replace mtty_dev->vd_class with a const struct class and drop the
class_create() call.

Compile tested and found no errors/warns in dmesg after enabling
CONFIG_VFIO and CONFIG_SAMPLE_VFIO_MDEV_MTTY.
