From: Wang Hai <wanghai38@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0ffddafc3a3970ef7013696e7f36b3d378bc4c16 ] Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking the kobject. Set do_unreg = 1 before kobject_init_and_add() to ensure that kobject_put() can be called in its error patch.
