[PATCH 2/3] lib/kobject: Panic when kobj or ktype is not properly assigned

[Dong Hao]

From: Dong Hao <haodong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

kobj and ktype are two important attributes which will be used after kobject_init(),
and (!kobj)|(!ktype) may cause FS corruption which could not be recovered.
Panic instead of dump_stack() when neither kobj nor ktype is properly assigned to
detect the bug early.
