[PATCH 06/11] firmware: qemu_fw_cfg: fix possible memory leak in fw_cfg_build_symlink()

[Yang Yingliang]

Inject fault while loading module, kset_register() may fail, if
it fails, but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the
name allocated in kobject_set_name() is leaked. To fix this by
calling kset_put(), so that name can be freed in callback function
kobject_cleanup() and 'subdir' is freed in kset_release().

unreferenced object 0xffff88810ad69050 (size 8):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294677178 (age 38.812s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
    65 74 63 00 81 88 ff ff                          etc.....
