I'm not familiar with the internals of kobject but
btrfs_sysfs_remove_fsid calls __btrfs_sysfs_remove_fsid which in turn
does kobject_del followed by kobject_put so its sequence is not exactly
identical with your change. Presumably kobject_del is only required if
you want to dispose of successfully registered sysfs node. This implies
that __btrfs_sysfs_remove_fsid is actually broken when it comes to
handling failed sysfs_add_fsid?
