Patch series "nilfs2: fix incorrect usage of kobject".
This patchset from Nanyong Sun fixes memory leak issues and a NULL pointer dereference issue caused by incorrect usage of kboject in nilfs2 sysfs implementation.
This patch (of 6):
Reported by syzkaller:

If kobject_init_and_add return with error, then the cleanup of kobject is needed because memory may be allocated in kobject_init_and_add without freeing.
And the place of cleanup_dev_kobject should use kobject_put to free the memory associated with the kobject. As the section "Kobject removal" of "Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst" says, kobject_del() just makes the kobject "invisible", but it is not cleaned up. And no more cleanup will do after cleanup_dev_kobject, so kobject_put is needed here.
