[PATCH 4.4 016/101] ACPI: sysfs: Fix reference count leak in acpi_sysfs_add_hotplug_profile()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx>

commit 6e6c25283dff866308c87b49434c7dbad4774cc0 upstream.

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
Thus, when kobject_init_and_add() returns an error,
kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the kobject.
