From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx>
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Thus,
when call of kobject_init_and_add() fail, we should call kobject_put()
instead of kfree(). Previous commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.
Fixes: 5fe6cc60680d ("PCI: prevent duplicate slot names")
