platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix error handling in hp_add_other_attribut…

…es()

commit f40f939 upstream.

'attr_name_kobj' is allocated using kzalloc, but on all the error paths
it is not freed, hence we have a memory leak.

Fix the error path before kobject_init_and_add() by adding kfree().

kobject_put() must be always called after passing the object to
kobject_init_and_add(). Only the error path which is immediately next
to kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_put() and not any other error
path after it.

Fix the error handling after kobject_init_and_add() by moving the
kobject_put() into the goto label err_other_attr_init that is already
used by all the error paths after kobject_init_and_add().
