[PATCH v2 3/3] mm/slub: Fix memory leak of kobj->name in sysfs_slab_add()

[Liu Shixin]

There is a memory leak of kobj->name in sysfs_slab_add():

 unreferenced object 0xffff88817e446440 (size 32):
   comm "insmod", pid 4085, jiffies 4296564501 (age 126.272s)
   hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Following the rules stated in the comment for kobject_init_and_add():
 If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
 properly clean up the memory associated with the object.

kobject_put() is more appropriate for error handling after kobject_init().
And we can use this function to solve this problem.
