4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Zhouyang Jia <jiazhouyang09@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 44d4d51de9a3534a2b63d69efda02a10e66541e4 ]

When sysfs_create_group fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.

This patch adds error-handling code after calling sysfs_create_group.
