[PATCH 4.9 23/26] nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_delete_snapshot_group

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Nanyong Sun <sunnanyong@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 17243e1c3072b8417a5ebfc53065d0a87af7ca77 ]

kobject_put() should be used to cleanup the memory associated with the
kobject instead of kobject_del().  See the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst".
