[PATCH] firmware: edd: fix possible memory leak in edd_device_register()

[Yang Yingliang]

Inject fault while loading module, kobject_init_and_add() may fail
in edd_device_register(), if it fails, kobject_put() need be called
to properly clean up the memory associated with the object, or the
name of kobject is leaked.

unreferenced object 0xffff8e7d40d15820 (size 16):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294669397 (age 47.978s)
