I guess that earlier WARN_ON's are related to the oops we are seeing.
The oops has oocured becaure the target kobject->k_name is NULL?
Somehow the target kobjcet is getting freed while sysfs_follow_link() even
though sysfs takes ref for the the target kobject at the time of symlink
creation. Can there be some mispatch in kref_get()/kref_put() or kobject_get()
/kobject_put() in higher layers?
