Subject[PATCH] vmbus: unregister device_obj->channels_kset
Date

Fixes: c2e5df616e1a ("vmbus: add per-channel sysfs info")

Without the patch, a device can't be thoroughly destroyed, because
vmbus_device_register() -> kset_create_and_add() still holds a reference
to the hv_device's device.kobj.

The patch is based on char-misc.git's char-misc-next branch.
