[PATCH 04/11] kobject: fix possible memory leak in kset_create_and_add()

[Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@huawei.com>]

Inject fault while loading module (e.g. qemu_fw_cfg.ko), kset_register()
may fail in kset_create_and_add(), if it fails, but the refcount of kobject
is not decreased to 0, the name allocated in kset_create() is leaked. To fix
this by calling kset_put(), so that name can be freed in callback function
kobject_cleanup() and kset can be freed in kset_release().

unreferenced object 0xffff888103cc8c08 (size 8):
  comm "modprobe", pid 508, jiffies 4294915182 (age 120.020s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
    62 79 5f 6e 61 6d 65 00                          by_name.
