Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Fix kobject memleak
Date:   Tue, 30 Apr 2019 11:35:52 +0530
Message-Id: <815f7c7cea02e05c90d5bf678ea8717f01cc9f63.1556604312.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not
followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking the
kobject.

Fix it by adding a call to kobject_put() in the error path of
kobject_init_and_add().

Tobin fixed this for schedutil already.
