2.6.18-rc3-mm2: oops in sysfs_follow_link()

[Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de>]

(resend with corrected cc)

Greetings,

I just got the below double warning from lib/kref.c:32 followed by oops.

I had just rebooted after upping my printk buffer to 20 (to be able to
see a complete boot despite the spam), and was poking Ctrl+Alt+F1 trying
to get to a vt to watch.

	-Mike
