Subject: [PATCH] net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject

From: Jouni Hogander <jouni.hogander@...kie.com>

kobject_init_and_add takes reference even when it fails. This has
to be given up by the caller in error handling. Otherwise memory
allocated by kobject_init_and_add is never freed. Originally found
by Syzkaller:
