caused by incorrect usage of kobject in nilfs2 sysfs driver.

nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_device_group
nilfs2: fix NULL pointer in nilfs_##name##_attr_release
nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_##name##_group
nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_delete_##name##_group
nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_snapshot_group
nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_delete_snapshot_group

If kobject_init_and_add returns with error, kobject_put() is needed
here to avoid memory leak, because kobject_init_and_add may return
error without freeing the memory associated with the kobject it allocated.

Kobject_put() should be used to cleanup the memory associated with
the kobject insead of kobject_del(). See the section "Kobject removal"

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.

Hi, Nanyong
Thank you so much for sending this patchset. I will review each and
send them upstream if applicable as is.
Thanks,
