4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cc095f0ac1f7c200e51a5c2a78a43c9f42049dbb upstream. device_remove_group() was called on any cleanup, even if the device attrs had not been added yet. That can occur in certain error scenarios, so add a flag to know if it has been added. Also make sure we remove the dev if we added it ourselves.
