Wang Hai 6b70fc94af net-sysfs: Fix memory leak in netdev_register_kobject
When registering struct net_device, it will call
	register_netdevice ->
		netdev_register_kobject ->
			device_initialize(dev);
			dev_set_name(dev, "%s", ndev->name)
			device_add(dev)
			register_queue_kobjects(ndev)

In netdev_register_kobject(), if device_add(dev) or
register_queue_kobjects(ndev) failed. Register_netdevice()
will return error, causing netdev_freemem(ndev) to be
called to free net_device, however put_device(&dev->dev)->..->
kobject_cleanup() won't be called, resulting in a memory leak.

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.
