Due to possible deadlock issues we need to use a schedule work to
kobject_del an 'rdev' object from a different thread.
A recent change means that kobject_add no longer gets a refernce, and
kobject_del doesn't put a reference. Consequently, we need to
explicitly hold a reference to ensure that the last reference isn't
dropped before the scheduled work get a chance to call kobject_del.
Also, rename delayed_delete to md_delayed_delete to that it is more
obvious in a stack trace which code is to blame.
