If kset_register() fails, the refcount of kobject is not 0, the name allocated
in kobject_set_name() is leaked. To fix this by calling kset_put(), so that it
will be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup().

unreferenced object 0xffff888103bddb68 (size 8):
  comm "systemd-udevd", pid 341, jiffies 4294903262 (age 42.212s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
    65 64 61 63 00 00 00 00                          edac....
