driver core: class: remove struct module owner out of struct class
The module owner field for a struct class was never actually used, so remove it as it is not doing anything at all. Cc: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230313181843.1207845-3-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
