[PATCH] fs: nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_device_group

From: Dongliang Mu
Date: Thu Jan 20 2022 - 08:46:00 EST


The preivous commit 8fd0c1b0647a ("nilfs2: fix memory leak in
nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group") only handles the memory leak in the
nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group. However, the similar memory leak still
occurs in the nilfs_sysfs_create_device_group.

Fix it by adding kobject_del when
kobject_init_and_add succeeds, but one of the following calls fails.
