[PATCH 2/2] livepatch: Use correct kobject cleanup function

From: Tobin C. Harding
Date: Mon Apr 29 2019 - 20:16:32 EST


The correct cleanup function after a call to kobject_init_and_add() has
succeeded is kobject_del() _not_ kobject_put(). kobject_del() calls
kobject_put().

Use correct cleanup function when removing a kobject.
