During wacom_initialize_remotes() a fifo buffer is allocated
with kfifo_alloc() and later a cleanup action is registered
during devm_add_action_or_reset() to clean it up.
However if the code fails to create a kobject and register it
with sysfs the code simply returns -ENOMEM before the cleanup
action is registered leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by ensuring the fifo is freed when the kobject creation
and registration process fails.

When sysfs_create_files() fails during wacom_initialize_remotes() the
fifo buffer is not freed leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by calling kfifo_free() before returning.

When sysfs_create_files() fails in wacom_initialize_remotes() the error
is returned and the cleanup action will not have been registered yet.
As a result the kobject’s refcount is never dropped, so the
kobject can never be freed leading to a reference leak.
Fix this by calling kobject_put() before returning.
