Subject: [PATCH] net-sysfs: Fix memory leak in netdev_register_kobject

When registering struct net_device, it will call
	register_netdevice ->
		netdev_register_kobject ->
			device_add(dev)
			register_queue_kobjects(ndev)

If device_add(dev) or register_queue_kobjects(ndev) fails.
Register_netdevice() will return error, causing netdev_freemem(ndev)
to be called to free net_device, however (&ndev->dev)->kobj.name will
not be freed, resulting in a memory leak.
