[0/4] nfs: kobject: use generic helpers and ownership

Hi,

I currently have pending patches for fs/dlm (Distributed Lock Manager)
subsystem to introduce some helpers to udev. However, it seems it takes
more time that I can bring those changes upstream. I put those out now
and already figured out that nfs can also take advantage of those changes.

With this patch-series I try to try to reduce my patch-series for DLM
and already bring part of it upstream and nfs will be a user of it.

The ownership callback, I think it should be set as the
kset_create_and_add() sets this callback as default. I never had any
issues with it, but there might be container corner cases that requires
those changes?
