[ Upstream commit17ed808ad2] When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error, it should be handled because kobject_init_and_add() takes a reference even when it fails. If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Therefore, replace calling kfree() and call kobject_put() and add a missing kobject_put() in the edac_device_register_sysfs_main_kobj() error path.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
