From: Qiushi Wu <[email protected]>
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fixes: dd002e807486 ("Kobject: change drivers/firmware/edd.c to use kobject_init_and_add")
