sysfs: fix hardlink count on device_move

Browse Source 
Update directory hardlink count when moving kobjects to a new parent.
Fixes the following problem which occurs when several devices are
moved to the same parent and then unregistered:

> ls -laF /sys/devices/css0/defunct/
> total 0
> drwxr-xr-x 4294967295 root root    0 2009-07-14 17:02 ./
> drwxr-xr-x        114 root root    0 2009-07-14 17:02 ../
> drwxr-xr-x          2 root root    0 2009-07-14 17:01 power/
> -rw-r--r--          1 root root 4096 2009-07-14 17:01 uevent
