[PATCH 4.14 26/38] IB/hfi1: Fix memory leaks in sysfs registration and unregistration

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Kaike Wan <kaike.wan@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5c15abc4328ad696fa61e2f3604918ed0c207755 upstream.

When the hfi1 driver is unloaded, kmemleak will report the following
issue:

unreferenced object 0xffff8888461a4c08 (size 8):
comm "kworker/0:0", pid 5, jiffies 4298601264 (age 2047.134s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
73 64 6d 61 30 00 ff ff sdma0...

This patch fixes the issue by:

- Releasing dd->per_sdma[i].kobject in hfi1_unregister_sysfs().
- This will fix the memory leak.

- Calling kobject_put() to unwind operations only for those entries in
dd->per_sdma[] whose operations have succeeded (including the current
one that has just failed) in hfi1_verbs_register_sysfs().
