Subject[PATCH 4.4 63/64] ext4: fix leaking sysfs kobject after failed mount
Date
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

commit cb8d53d2c97369029cc638c9274ac7be0a316c75 upstream.

ext4_unregister_sysfs() only deletes the kobject. The reference to it
needs to be put separately, like ext4_put_super() does.

This addresses the syzbot report
"memory leak in kobject_set_name_vargs (3)"
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=9f864abad79fae7c17e1).

Fixes: 72ba74508b28 ("ext4: release sysfs kobject when failing to enable quotas on mount")
