Subject: [BUG][PATCH -mm] bluetooth : rfcomm add get/put device in del_conn

Due to 2.6.24-rc6-mm1 kernel changes (maybe kobject or driver core), If I exec:

rfcomm connect 0 1

kernel will oops after connect timeout.

hand copy some oops text:

EIP is at driver_sysfs_remove+0x1a/0x40
Call Trace:

 show_stack_log_lvl+0x9a/0xc0

 run_workqueue+0xe1/0x210
 worker_thread+0x99/0xf0
 kthread+0x5c/0xa0
 kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x18

(The remote bluetooth device is a mobile phone which is power off)

The reason is that in bus_remobe_dev, the klist_del function will release the device, so just add a get/put pair around the device_del in del_conn.
