[ Upstream commit e5f5a66c9aa9c331da5527c2e3fd9394e7091e01 ] Commit c343bf1ba5ef ("cpuidle: Fix three reference count leaks") fixes the cleanup of kobjects; however, it removes kfree() calls altogether, leading to memory leaks. Fix those and also defer the initialization of dev->kobj_dev until after the error check, so that we do not end up with a dangling pointer.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
