rnbd_clt_add_dev_kobj() initializes dev->kobj and adds it below the
gendisk kobject after rnbd_clt_map_device() has returned a live
rnbd_clt_dev to rnbd_clt_map_device_store().
If kobject_init_and_add() fails, the helper currently calls
kobject_put() on the embedded kobject. That put can drop the initial
kobject reference and run rnbd_dev_release(), freeing dev. The caller
then continues through the normal error path and calls
rnbd_clt_unmap_device(dev, true, NULL), dereferencing the freed device.
Leave the initialized kobject alive until the normal device teardown has
completed and rnbd_clt_put_dev() drops the final device reference. Since
kobject_init_and_add() failure can leave the kobject initialized but not
present in sysfs, only call kobject_del() from rnbd_destroy_sysfs() when
state_in_sysfs is set.
