Here is the patch. It converts all the cases except 3:

 - struct scst_tgt_template and struct scst_dev_type, because they are supplied by
target drivers and dev handlers correspondingly and usually static.

 - struct scst_session, because sometimes we need to create several sessions for the
same initiator (for iSCSI sessions reinstatement, for instance) and for such cases need
a logic to have different SYSFS names for them. To have this logic functioning correctly,
we need to keep sessions alive longer than life of their kobject (see scst_sess_sysfs_create()
and scst_free_session() for more details).

I don't like this patch, because it makes the code in almost 100 lines of code bigger and
worse by making objects initialization/freeing a lot more complicated and harder to audit.
But, since you insist, I applied it.

It isn't late to revert it, just say a word.

Thanks,
Vlad
