[PATCH 09/10] kobject: Export kobject_get_unless_zero()

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: 2017-02-09 12:44:32
Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, library code, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

Make the function available for outside use and fortify it against NULL
kobject.
