When the hfi1 driver is unloaded, kmemleak will report the following
issue:
unreferenced object 0xffff8888461a4c08 (size 8):
comm "kworker/0:0", pid 5, jiffies 4298601264 (age 2047.134s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):

This patch fixes the issue by:
- Releasing dd->per_sdma[i].kobject in hfi1_unregister_sysfs().
- This will fix the memory leak.
- Calling kobject_put() to unwind operations only for those entries in
dd->per_sdma[] whose operations have succeeded (including the current
one that has just failed) in hfi1_verbs_register_sysfs().
Fixes: 0cb2aa690c7e ("IB/hfi1: Add sysfs interface for affinity setup")
