[PATCH 4.14 22/27] nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_delete_##name##_group

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Nanyong Sun <sunnanyong@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a3e181259ddd61fd378390977a1e4e2316853afa ]

The 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".
