Subject: [PATCH] erofs: don't access kobject object members directly

It is better not to directly access the internal members of the
kobject object, especially kobject_init_and_add() may failure.
BTW remove unnecessary kobject_del(), kobject_put() actually covers
kobject removal automatically, which is single stage removal.
