Subject: [PATCH 5.0 021/346] btrfs: sysfs: Fix error path kobject memory leak

From: Tobin C. Harding <tobin@...nel.org>

commit 450ff8348808a89cc27436771aa05c2b90c0eef1 upstream.

If a call to kobject_init_and_add() fails we must call kobject_put()
otherwise we leak memory.

Calling kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add() fails drops the
refcount back to 0 and calls the ktype release method (which in turn
calls the percpu destroy and kfree).

Add call to kobject_put() in the error path of call to
kobject_init_and_add().
