From: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@gmail.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.102 commit 91d8866ca55232d21995a3d54fac96de33c9e20c bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I567K6 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 8bc69f86328e87a0ffa79438430cc82f3aa6a194 ] kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails. According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()： If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Fix memory leak by calling kobject_put().
