'attr_name_kobj' is allocated using kzalloc, but on all the error paths it is not freed, hence we have a memory leak. Fix the error path before kobject_init_and_add() by adding kfree(). kobject_put() must be always called after passing the object to kobject_init_and_add(). Only the error path which is immediately next to kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_put() and not any other error path after it. Fix the error handling after kobject_init_and_add() by moving the kobject_put() into the goto label err_other_attr_init that is already used by all the error paths after kobject_init_and_add().

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.
