Subject: btrfs: fix memory leak in update_space_info failure path
From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx>
commit 896533a7da929136d0432713f02a3edffece2826 upstream.
If we fail to add the space_info kobject, we'll leak the memory
for the percpu counter.
Fixes: 6ab0a2029c (btrfs: publish allocation data in sysfs)
