[BKPATCH] Fix for "Badness in kobject_get" (affected ieee1394)

[Ben Collins]

This seems to have only affected ieee1394 because it uses
bus_for_each_dev in a particular (although correct) way.

Linux/Andrew/Greg, if you want to pull this from my repo, I can email
you the bk url privately.

You can import this changeset into BK by piping this whole message to:
