stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.4 commit 9a98ab01e3acba830cb0917296a13192fd23f305 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8N1WC
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit f40f939917b2b4cbf18450096c0ce1c58ed59fae upstream.
'attr_name_kobj' is allocated using kzalloc, but on all the error paths it is not freed, hence we have a memory leak.
Fix the error path before kobject_init_and_add() by adding kfree().
kobject_put() must be always called after passing the object to kobject_init_and_add(). Only the error path which is immediately next to kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_put() and not any other error path after it.
Fix the error handling after kobject_init_and_add() by moving the kobject_put() into the goto label err_other_attr_init that is already used by all the error paths after kobject_init_and_add().
