[PATCH 4.19 12/92] net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

commit b8eb718348b8fb30b5a7d0a8fce26fb3f4ac741b upstream.

kobject_init_and_add takes reference even when it fails. This has
to be given up by the caller in error handling. Otherwise memory
allocated by kobject_init_and_add is never freed. Originally found
by Syzkaller:

BUG: memory leak
