nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_device_group

Browse Source 
Patch series "nilfs2: fix incorrect usage of kobject".

This patchset from Nanyong Sun fixes memory leak issues and a NULL
pointer dereference issue caused by incorrect usage of kboject in nilfs2
sysfs implementation.

If kobject_init_and_add return with error, then the cleanup of kobject
is needed because memory may be allocated in kobject_init_and_add
without freeing.

And the place of cleanup_dev_kobject should use kobject_put to free the
memory associated with the kobject.  As the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst" says, kobject_del() just makes the
kobject "invisible", but it is not cleaned up.  And no more cleanup will
do after cleanup_dev_kobject, so kobject_put is needed here.
