From: Kaike Wan kaike.wan@intel.com
When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error in the function hfi1_create_port_files(), the function kobject_put() is not called for the corresponding kobject, which potentially leads to memory leak.
This patch fixes the issue by calling kobject_put() even if kobject_init_and_add() fails.
