From: Bernard Zhao <bernard@xxxxxxxx> commit b5b78a6c8d8cb9c307bc6b16a754603424459d6e upstream. The function kobject_init_and_add alloc memory like: kobject_init_and_add->kobject_add_varg->kobject_set_name_vargs ->kvasprintf_const->kstrdup_const->kstrdup->kmalloc_track_caller ->kmalloc_slab, in err branch this memory not free. If use kmemleak, this path maybe catched. These changes are to add kobject_put in kobject_init_and_add failed branch, fix potential memleak.
