[ Upstream commit 17ed808ad243192fb923e4e653c1338d3ba06207 ]
When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error, it should be handled
because kobject_init_and_add() takes a reference even when it fails. If
this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly
clean up the memory associated with the object.
Therefore, replace calling kfree() and call kobject_put() and add a
missing kobject_put() in the edac_device_register_sysfs_main_kobj()
error path.
[ bp: Massage and merge into a single patch. ]
Fixes: b2ed215a3338 ("Kobject: change drivers/edac to use kobject_init_and_add")
