[PATCH 156/196] sysfs: fix /sys/module/*/holders after sysfs logic change

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx>

Sysfs symlinks now require fully registered kobjects as a target,
otherwise the call to create a symlink will fail. Here we register
the kobject before we request the symlink in the holders directory.
