configfs: fix possible memory leak in configfs_create_dir()

[ Upstream commit c65234b283 ]

kmemleak reported memory leaks in configfs_create_dir():

This is because the refcount is not correct in configfs_make_dirent().
For normal stage, the refcount is changing as:

configfs_register_subsystem()
  configfs_create_dir()
    configfs_make_dirent()
      configfs_new_dirent() # set s_count = 1
      dentry->d_fsdata = configfs_get(sd); # s_count = 2
...
configfs_unregister_subsystem()
  configfs_remove_dir()
    remove_dir()
      configfs_remove_dirent() # s_count = 1
    dput() ...
      *dentry_unlink_inode()*
        configfs_d_iput() # s_count = 0, release

However, if we failed in configfs_create():

configfs_register_subsystem()
  configfs_create_dir()
    configfs_make_dirent() # s_count = 2
    ...
    configfs_create() # fail
    ->out_remove:
    configfs_remove_dirent(dentry)
      configfs_put(sd) # s_count = 1
      return PTR_ERR(inode);

There is no inode in the error path, so the configfs_d_iput() is lost
and makes sd and fragment memory leaked.

To fix this, when we failed in configfs_create(), manually call
configfs_put(sd) to keep the refcount correct.
