Use kobject_set_name() for increased portability.

As of 2.6.25 kobj->k_name was replaced with kobj->name.  Some distros
such as RHEL5 (2.6.18) add a patch to prevent this from being a problem
but other older distros such as SLES10 (2.6.16) have not.  To avoid
the whole issue I'm updating the code to use kobject_set_name() which
does what I want and has existed all the way back to 2.6.11.
