[PATCH 5/6] nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_snapshot_group
From: Nanyong Sun
Date: Mon Jun 28 2021 - 21:54:52 EST
If kobject_init_and_add returns with error, kobject_put() is needed
here to avoid memory leak, because kobject_init_and_add may return
error without freeing the memory associated with the kobject it allocated.
