Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 139/172] scsi: iscsi: Fix reference count leak in iscsi_boot_create_kobj

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

[ Upstream commit 0267ffce562c8bbf9b57ebe0e38445ad04972890 ]

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails. If this
function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly
clean up the memory associated with the object.
