Subject[PATCH v2] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix memory leak in vmbus_add_channel_kobj
Date
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add():

If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.

Fix memory leak by calling kobject_put().

Fixes: c2e5df616e1a ("vmbus: add per-channel sysfs info")
Signed-off-by: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Add cleanup when sysfs_create_group() fails

kobject_uevent() is used for notifying userspace by sending an uevent,
I don't think we need to do error handling for it.
