syzbot reported a uaf in software_node_notify_remove. [1]
When any of the two sysfs_create_link() in software_node_notify() fails,
the swnode->kobj reference count will not increase normally, which will
cause swnode to be released incorrectly due to the imbalance of kobj reference
count when executing software_node_notify_remove().
Increase the reference count of kobj before creating the link to avoid uaf.
