This seems to be two very different things.  Once a fix up of the
->se_deve access in the PR code, and second changing the way the references
work.

The kref change looks fine to me as a standalone patch.

The RCU lookup changes really need to be squashed into the others,
for one thing before this patch the PR code still tries to use
->device_list which isn't even maintained any more.

It might be a good idea to grab these three patches from my older series
and add them before your actual RCU changes to simplify the PR code
in preparation of the RCU changes:
