Heikki Krogerus 4ef12f7198 kobject: Make sure the parent does not get released before its children
In the function kobject_cleanup(), kobject_del(kobj) is
called before the kobj->release(). That makes it possible to
release the parent of the kobject before the kobject itself.

To fix that, adding function __kboject_del() that does
everything that kobject_del() does except release the parent
reference. kobject_cleanup() then calls __kobject_del()
instead of kobject_del(), and separately decrements the
reference count of the parent kobject after kobj->release()
has been called.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
