   Call <code class="function">kset_find_obj</code> to iterate over list of drivers on
   a bus to find driver by name. Return driver if found.

   This routine provides no locking to prevent the driver it returns
   from being unregistered or unloaded while the caller is using it.
   The caller is responsible for preventing this.
