Subject: [PATCH 16/17] configfs: call drop_link() to cleanup after create_link() failure

From: Louis Rilling <Louis.Rilling@...labs.com>

When allow_link() succeeds but create_link() fails, the subsystem is not
informed of the failure.

This patch fixes this by calling drop_link() on create_link() failures.
