From: Kaike Wan <kaike.wan@intel.com> commit dfb5394f804ed4fcea1fc925be275a38d66712ab upstream. When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error in the function hfi1_create_port_files(), the function kobject_put() is not called for the corresponding kobject, which potentially leads to memory leak. This patch fixes the issue by calling kobject_put() even if kobject_init_and_add() fails.
