From: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@gmail.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit e1840365ed4f831f51dfd7b3af5e39045f3d62b7 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit d24846a4246b6e61ecbd036880a4adf61681d241 upstream. 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().
