Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] EDAC/pci_sysfs: Fix calling kobject_put() with ->state_initialized unset

In edac_pci_main_kobj_setup() when dev_root is NULL,
kobject_init_and_add() is not called.

        if (err) { // err = -ENODEV;
                edac_dbg(1, "Failed to register '.../edac/pci'\n");
                goto kobject_init_and_add_fail; // call to kobject_put()
        }

This will cause a runtime warning in kobject_put() if the above happens.
Warning:
"kobject: '%s' (%p): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called."

Fix the error handling to avoid the above possible situation.

This is based on static analysis and only compile tested.
v1->v2: Resend as a patchset as they fix two similar bugs with modified
subject.
