4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d3349b6b3c373ac1fbfb040b810fcee5e2adc7e0 upstream. syzbot is hitting WARN() triggered by memory allocation fault injection [1] because loop module is calling sysfs_remove_group() when sysfs_create_group() failed. Fix this by remembering whether sysfs_create_group() succeeded.
