[PATCH 5/6] nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_snapshot_group

From: Ryusuke Konishi
Date: Wed Jul 07 2021 - 05:48:49 EST


From: Nanyong Sun <sunnanyong@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.
