From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pf: Fix sysfs initialization
In case of devm_add_action_or_reset() failure the provided cleanup
action will be run immediately on the not yet initialized kobject.
This may lead to errors like:
[ ] kobject: '(null)' (ff110001393608e0): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.
[ ] WARNING: lib/kobject.c:734 at kobject_put+0xd9/0x250, CPU#0: kworker/0:0/9
[ ] RIP: 0010:kobject_put+0xdf/0x250

Fix that by calling kobject_init() and kobject_add() separately
and register cleanup action after the kobject is initialized.
Also make this cleanup registration a part of the create helper to
fix another mistake, as in the loop we were wrongly passing parent
kobject while registering cleanup action, and this resulted in some
undetected leaks.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
