[ Upstream commit 8bc69f86328e87a0ffa79438430cc82f3aa6a194 ]

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()：

If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.

Fix memory leak by calling kobject_put().
