Subject: [PATCH 5.4 192/214] ext4: fix leaking sysfs kobject after failed mount

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit cb8d53d2c97369029cc638c9274ac7be0a316c75 upstream.

ext4_unregister_sysfs() only deletes the kobject.  The reference to it
needs to be put separately, like ext4_put_super() does.

This addresses the syzbot report
"memory leak in kobject_set_name_vargs (3)"
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=9f864abad79fae7c17e1).
