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.
