commit dde3c6b72a16c2db826f54b2d49bdea26c3534a2 upstream.
syzkaller reports for memory leak when kobject_init_and_add() returns an error in the function sysfs_slab_add() [1]
When this happened, 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.
