From: Nanyong Sun <sunnanyong@huawei.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.208 commit 26a7357ddcb7ecaf8b5528ec14c1f672e481e3b4 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 24f8cb1ed057c840728167dab33b32e44147c86f ] If kobject_init_and_add return with error, kobject_put() is needed here to avoid memory leak, because kobject_init_and_add may return error without freeing the memory associated with the kobject it allocated.
