Unlink kobject from hierarchy and decrement its refcount.

That is done by kobject_put() and not explicitly done directly in this helper.
So I would not mention this to avoid confusion as you otherwise have a
description that does not match the code we can see here.

With that fixed, this looks OK to me, so feel free to add:

Nit: You could simplify this one to be:

	if (k)
		kobject_del_and_put(&k->kobj);

and drop the return line.
