I tried putting kobject_put in vio_find_name but it felt extremely dirty.
So I moved it to the caller - rpaphp_vio::register_vio_slot(). What do
you think? (I am also CC-ing Greg KH so he can apply if there is an
agreement.)

ChangeSet@1.1778.5.4, 2004-07-03 21:19:34-05:00, dtor_core@ameritech.net
Driver core: kset_find_obj should increment refcount of the found object
so users of the function can safely use returned object
