Greg Kroah-Hartman ddaf098ea7 driver core: class: properly reference count class_dev_iter()
When class_dev_iter is initialized, the reference count for the subsys
private structure is incremented, but never decremented, causing a
memory leak over time.  To resolve this, save off a pointer to the
internal structure into the class_dev_iter structure and then when the
iterator is finished, drop the reference count.
