Subject[PATCH] kobject: fix possible memory leak in kset_create_and_add()
Date
If kset_register() fails in kset_create_and_add(), the name allocated
in kset_create() will be leaked. To fix this by calling kset_put() so
that the name will be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup() and
kset will be freed in kset_release().

unreferenced object 0xffff888103cc8c08 (size 8):
comm "modprobe", pid 508, jiffies 4294915182 (age 120.020s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
62 79 5f 6e 61 6d 65 00 by_name.
backtrace:
