From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cb8d53d2c97369029cc638c9274ac7be0a316c75 upstream. ext4_unregister_sysfs() only deletes the kobject. The reference to it needs to be put separately, like ext4_put_super() does. This addresses the syzbot report "memory leak in kobject_set_name_vargs (3)" (https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=9f864abad79fae7c17e1).
