cxl: Replace lockdep_mutex with local lock classes

In response to an attempt to expand dev->lockdep_mutex for device_lock()
validation [1], Peter points out [2] that the lockdep API already has
the ability to assign a dedicated lock class per subsystem device-type.

Use lockdep_set_class() to override the default device_lock()
'__lockdep_no_validate__' class for each CXL subsystem device-type. This
enables lockdep to detect deadlocks and recursive locking within the
device-driver core and the subsystem. The
lockdep_set_class_and_subclass() API is used for port objects that
recursively lock the 'cxl_port_key' class by hierarchical topology
depth.
