the scsi device does its refcounting through the generic device (and
hence the kobject), so scsi_device_get() does get a handle on the
kobject for you (as well as doing some checks with the SCSI state model
and getting a handle on the underlying module).

I'm not too sure about this...exporting such a function might be seen as
encouraging further abuse...
