xfs: Fix unreferenced object reported by kmemleak in xfs_sysfs_init()
[ Upstream commit d08af40340cad0e025d643c3982781a8f99d5032 ] kmemleak reported a sequence of memory leaks, and one of them indicated we failed to free a pointer: comm "mount", pid 19610, jiffies 4297086464 (age 60.635s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 73 64 61 00 81 88 ff ff sda..... backtrace: [<00000000d77f3e04>] kstrdup_const+0x46/0x70 [<00000000e51fa804>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x2f/0xb0 [<00000000247cd595>] kobject_init_and_add+0xb0/0x120 [<00000000f9139aaf>] xfs_mountfs+0x367/0xfc0 [<00000000250d3caf>] xfs_fs_fill_super+0xa16/0xdc0 [<000000008d873d38>] get_tree_bdev+0x256/0x390 [<000000004881f3fa>] vfs_get_tree+0x41/0xf0 [<000000008291ab52>] path_mount+0x9b3/0xdd0 [<0000000022ba8f2d>] __x64_sys_mount+0x190/0x1d0 As mentioned in kobject_init_and_add() comment, if this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Apparently, xfs_sysfs_init() does not follow such a requirement. When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error, the space of kobj->kobject.name alloced by kstrdup_const() is unfree, which will cause the above stack. Fix it by adding kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add returns an error.
