kref refcnt and false positives
With WARN_ON addition to kobject_init()
[ http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.19/2.6.19-mm1/dont-use/broken-out/gregkh-driver-kobject-warn.patch ]
I started seeing following WARNING on CPU offline followed by online on my
x86_64 system.
WARNING at lib/kobject.c:172 kobject_init()

Leftover inexact backtrace:
This is a false positive as mce.c is unregistering/registering sysfs
interfaces cleanly on hotplug.
kref_put() and conditional decrement of refcnt seems to be the root cause
for this and the patch below resolves the issue for me.
