From: Nanyong Sun <sunnanyong@huawei.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.208 commit c55c9e1f56d4ba3f669d25a8d9a27f6f21b320e2 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit b2fe39c248f3fa4bbb2a20759b4fdd83504190f7 ] If kobject_init_and_add returns 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.
