kobject: convert ibmasm to use kref, not kobject
The IBM asm driver is using a kobject only for reference counting, nothing else. So switch it to use a kref instead, which is all that is needed, and is much smaller. Cc: Max Asböck <amax@us.ibm.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
