[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Fix error handling in amdgpu_xcp_cfg_sysfs_init()

[Guangshuo Li]

Once kobject_init_and_add() fails for an XCP resource kobject, we
should call kobject_put() to decrement the reference count for cleanup.
Otherwise, it could cause a memory leak.

The error handling loop also uses xcp_res[i] instead of xcp_res[j],
so it fails to put the previously added resource kobjects and may put
the failed kobject more than once.

Fix this by putting the failed resource kobject before jumping to the
error path, and by using the correct loop index when putting the
previously added resource kobjects.

Found by code review.

Good catch. What about just keeping it j <= i? Seeing only one path to 
get to this error handling.

The usual idiom for cleanup in loops you will find in books is:

for (i = 0; i < N; ++i);
...
	if (r)
		goto error;

....

error:
	while (i--)
		cleanup(array[i]);


The while (i--) looks counter intuitive on first glance but is actually correct.

Christian.
