[RESEND][PATCH 3/4] Driver core updates (needed for serio)

[Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>]

===================================================================


ChangeSet@1.1821, 2004-07-07 18:16:59-05:00, 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
