The kobject embedded in rtrs_srv_sess has ref-counter 2 after calling process_info_req(). Therefore it must call kobject_put twice. Currently it calls kobject_put only once at rtrs_srv_destroy_sess_files because kobject_del removes the state_in_sysfs flag and then kobject_put in free_sess() is not called. This patch moves kobject_del() into free_sess() so that the kobject of rtrs_srv_sess can be freed. And also this patch adds the missing call of sysfs_remove_group() to clean-up the sysfs directory.
