Inject fault while loading module, kset_register() may fail,
if it fails, but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to
0, the name allocated in kobject_set_name() is leaked. Fix
this by calling kset_put(), so that name can be freed in
callback function kobject_cleanup().

unreferenced object 0xffff888101b7cc80 (size 8):
comm "modprobe", pid 252, jiffies 4294691378 (age 31.760s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
66 32 66 73 00 88 ff ff f2fs....
