platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak
[ Upstream commit 7295a996fdab7bf83dc3d4078fa8b139b8e0a1bf ]
If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(),
a reference to that attribute is returned. This means
that we need to dispose it accordingly. Use kobject_put()
to dispose the duplicate attribute in such a case.
Compile-tested only.
