Even if kobj_gt_release() were to get called, the code allocates 'struct kobj_gt' and frees 'struct kobject'. Similar memory leaks are also present in sysfs_engines.c from where this code pattern is borrowed. Since these memory leaks occur only at module unload (or device removal) they are not serious but it may still be worth it to fix them and also not further propagate an erroneous code pattern. Thanks.
