------------------------------------------------------
Subject: devscontrol: clean up get_gendisk() a bit
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@xxxxxxxxxx>
The current implementation first converts kobj to device and then checks for
kobj not to be NULL. This is OK, since the converting macros is a
container_of one, but this does not look very nice.
Besides, I'll have to add some code _before_ the kobj_lookup() and thus will
have to move the call to kobj_lookup lower.
So do this job here to make the further patching cleaner.
