Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ext4: simplify kobject usage

Replace kset with generic kobject provided by kobject_create_and_add(),
since the latter is sufficient.

Signed-off-by: Tyson Nottingham <tgnottingham@...il.com>

As far as I can tell, we're not using any kset-specific functionality
here, so replace it with the simpler generic kobject.
