Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group

My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in nilfs2.
The problem was in missing kobject_put() in
nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group().

kobject_del() does not call kobject_cleanup() for
passed kobject and it leads to leaking duped
kobject name if kobject_put() was not called.

Fail log:
