gfs2: Fix error path kobject memory leak
If a call to kobject_init_and_add() fails we must call kobject_put() otherwise we leak memory. Function gfs2_sys_fs_add always calls kobject_init_and_add() which always calls kobject_init(). It is safe to leave object destruction up to the kobject release function and never free it manually. Remove call to kfree() and always call kobject_put() in the error path. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

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.
