[ Upstream commit d08af40340cad0e025d643c3982781a8f99d5032 ]
kmemleak reported a sequence of memory leaks, and one of them indicated we
failed to free a pointer:
comm "mount", pid 19610, jiffies 4297086464 (age 60.635s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
73 64 61 00 81 88 ff ff sda.....
backtrace:

As mentioned in kobject_init_and_add() comment, if this function
returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up
the memory associated with the object. Apparently, xfs_sysfs_init()
does not follow such a requirement. When kobject_init_and_add()
returns an error, the space of kobj->kobject.name alloced by
kstrdup_const() is unfree, which will cause the above stack.
Fix it by adding kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add returns an
error.
