Subject: [PATCH 3.16 07/61] net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in
 rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject

3.16.85-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jouni Hogander <jouni.hogander@...kie.com>

commit b8eb718348b8fb30b5a7d0a8fce26fb3f4ac741b upstream.

kobject_init_and_add takes reference even when it fails. This has
to be given up by the caller in error handling. Otherwise memory
allocated by kobject_init_and_add is never freed. Originally found
by Syzkaller:
