4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Suman Anna <s-anna@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0d83539092ddb1ab79b4d65bccb866bf07ea2ccd ] Commit 75f0aef6220d ("uio: fix memory leak") has fixed up some memory leaks during the failure paths of the addition of uio attributes, but still is not correct entirely. A kobject_uevent() failure still needs a kobject_put() and the kobject container structure allocation failure before the kobject_init() doesn't need a kobject_put(). Fix this properly.
