Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] msi: free msi_desc entry only after we've released the kobject

Currently, we first do kobject_put(&entry->kobj) and the kfree(entry),
however kobject_put() doesn't guarantee us that it was the last reference
and that the kobj isn't used currently by someone else, so after we
kfree(entry) with the struct kobject - other users will begin using the
freed memory, instead of the actual kobject.

Fix this by using the kobject->release callback, which is called last when
the kobject is indeed not used and is cleaned up - it's msi_kobj_release(),
which can do the kfree(entry) safely (kobject_put/cleanup doesn't use the
kobj itself after ->release() was called, so we're safe).

In case we've failed to create the sysfs directories - just kfree()
it - cause we don't have the kobjects attached.

Also, remove the same functionality from populate_msi_sysfs(), cause on
failure we anyway call free_msi_irqs(), which will take care of all the
kobjects properly.

And add the forgotten pci_dev_put(pdev) in case of failure to register the
kobject in populate_msi_sysfs().
