| |
[ Upstream commit b9fba67b3806e21b98bd5a98dc3921a8e9b42d61 ]
If a call to kobject_init_and_add() fails we should call kobject_put() otherwise we leak memory.
Add call to kobject_put() in the error path of call to kobject_init_and_add(). Please note, this has the side effect that the release method is called if kobject_init_and_add() fails.
