[azure 4.13][PATCH 14/19] UBUNTU: SAUCE: vmbus: unregister device_obj->channels_kset

From: Dexuan Cui <decui at microsoft.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736283

Fixes: c2e5df616e1a ("vmbus: add per-channel sysfs info")

Without the patch, a device can't be thoroughly destroyed, because
vmbus_device_register() -> kset_create_and_add() still holds a reference
to the hv_device's device.kobj.
