Subject: nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group
My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in nilfs2. The problem was in
missing kobject_put() in nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group().
kobject_del() does not call kobject_cleanup() for passed kobject and it
leads to leaking duped kobject name if kobject_put() was not called.
Fail log:
