[PATCH v3] net-sysfs: Fix memory leak in netdev_register_kobject
From: Wang Hai
Date: Tue Mar 19 2019 - 22:28:49 EST
When registering struct net_device, it will call
register_netdevice ->
netdev_register_kobject ->
device_initialize(dev);
dev_set_name(dev, "%s", ndev->name)
device_add(dev)
register_queue_kobjects(ndev)
In netdev_register_kobject(), if device_add(dev) or
register_queue_kobjects(ndev) failed. Register_netdevice()
will return error, causing netdev_freemem(ndev) to be
called to free net_device, however put_device(&dev->dev)->..->
kobject_cleanup() won't be called, resulting in a memory leak.

v2 -> v3:
- Change kfree_const(dev->kobj.name) to put_device(dev), fix the
problem of freeing kobj
- Improve the description of the cause of the bug
v1 -> v2:
- Fix the commit id of Fixes
- Improve the description of the cause of the bug, no code changes.
