Good detective work.

I've created a Smatch check to try find these. It uses the fact that
Smatch creates a bunch of fake assignments to set all the struct members
of "dev" to zero. Then it uses the modification hook to find the
kref_init(). Those are sort of new uses for those hooks so that's quite
fun.

I'll test it out overnight and see how it works.

drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-cards.c:4086 em28xx_usb_probe() warn: kref has already been modifed (see line 3979)
