[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 022/167] sched/cpufreq: Fix kobject memleak

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-05-22 19:29:23
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: cpu frequency scaling framework, the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Viresh Kumar, Linus Torvalds

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

[ Upstream commit 9a4f26cc98d81b67ecc23b890c28e2df324e29f3 ]

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().
