Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: Fix reference count leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_device_group

From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@....edu>

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
In nilfs_sysfs_create_device_group(), the memory allocated by
kobject_init_and_add() is not freed when kobject_init_and_add()
fails. Thus replace the jump target "free_dev_subgroups" by
"cleanup_dev_kobject".

Fixes: da7141fb78db ("nilfs2: add /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device> group")
