From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com> [ Upstream commit cc2205a67dec5a700227a693fc113441e73e4641 ] In hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate(), we would do kobject_put() on hstate_kobjs when failed to create sysfs group but forget to set hstate_kobjs to NULL. Then in hugetlb_register_node() error path, we may free it again via hugetlb_unregister_node().
