    platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix reference leak
    
    [ Upstream commit 528ab3e605cabf2f9c9bd5944d3bfe15f6e94f81 ]
    
    If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference
    to that attribute is returned which needs to be disposed accordingly
    using kobject_put(). Move the setting name validation into a separate
    function to allow for this change without having to duplicate the
    cleanup code for this setting.
    As a side note, a very similar bug was fixed in
    commit 7295a996fdab ("platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak"),
    so it seems that the bug was copied from that driver.
    
    Compile-tested only.
