I added this flag to prevent sysfs_remove_group() from being called if
sysfs_create_group() or the earlier call to kobject_init_and_add()
failed. However, it looks like that would just lead to WARN() being
called, which seems appropriate. I'll remove this flag.

Another reviewer asked why the empty directory created by
kobject_init_and_add() isn't removed here when sysfs_create_group()
fails. We decided that a comment would help clear up any future
confusion.

Yes, good point. I'll change this.
