Subject[PATCH] vfio/mdev: Fix reference count leak in add_mdev_supported_type.
Date
From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@umn.edu>

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Thus,
replace kfree() by kobject_put() to fix this issue. Previous
commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.

Fixes: 7b96953bc640 ("vfio: Mediated device Core driver")
Signed-off-by: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@umn.edu>
