commitd0ff14fdc9upstream. If alloc_descs() fails before irq_sysfs_init() has run, free_desc() in the cleanup path will call kobject_del() even though the kobject has not been added with kobject_add(). Fix this by making the call to kobject_del() conditional on whether irq_sysfs_init() has run. This problem surfaced because commitaa30f47cf6("kobject: Add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type") makes kobject_del() stricter about pairing with kobject_add(). If the pairing is incorrrect, a WARNING and backtrace occur in sysfs_remove_group() because there is no parent.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
