nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_##name##_group
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 24f8cb1 ]

If kobject_init_and_add return with error, kobject_put() is needed here to
avoid memory leak, because kobject_init_and_add may return error without
freeing the memory associated with the kobject it allocated.
