kobject: grab the kset reference in kobject_add, not kobject_init
kobject_init should not be grabing any references, but only initializing the object. This patch fixes this, and makes the lock hold-time shorter for when a kset is present in the kobject. The current kernel tree has been audited to verify that this change should be safe. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
