lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion

The conversion of device->sem to device->mutex resulted in lockdep
warnings. Create a novalidate class for now until the driver folks
come up with separate classes. That way we have at least the basic
mutex debugging coverage.

Add a checkpatch error so the usage is reserved for device->mutex.
