From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@umn.edu> [ Upstream commit aa8ba13cae3134b8ef1c1b6879f66372531da738 ] kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails. If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Thus, replace kfree() by kobject_put() to fix this issue. Previous commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.
