[PATCH 3/5] Export memory_sysdev_class

Export the memory_sysdev_class structure.  This is needed so we can create
a 'release' file in sysfs in addition to the existing 'probe' file in
order to support DLPAR removal of memory on the powerpc/pseries platform.
The new 'release' file will be powerpc/pseries only.
