Fix this by using the kobject->release callback, which is called last when the kobject is indeed not used and is cleaned up - it's msi_kobj_release(), which can do the kfree(entry) safely (kobject_put/cleanup doesn't use the kobj itself after ->release() was called, so we're safe). In case we've failed to create the sysfs directories - just kfree() it - cause we don't have the kobjects attached. Also, remove the same functionality from populate_msi_sysfs(), cause on failure we anyway call free_msi_irqs(), which will take care of all the kobjects properly.
