Dmitry Torokhov 2f0157f13f char_dev: pin parent kobject
In certain cases (for example when a cdev structure is embedded into
another object whose lifetime is controlled by a separate kobject) it is
beneficial to tie lifetime of another object to the lifetime of
character device so that related object is not freed until after
char_dev object is freed.

To achieve this let's pin kobject's parent when doing cdev_add() and
unpin when last reference to cdev structure is being released.
