Subject: [PATCH] [DLM] Fix kref_put oops
This patch fixes the recounting on the lockspace kobject. Previously the lockspace was freed while userspace could have had a
reference to one of its sysfs files, causing an oops in kref_put.
Now the lockspace kfree is moved into the kobject release() function
