    net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject · 60e71546
    Jouni Hogander authored
    commit b8eb7183 upstream.
    
    kobject_init_and_add takes reference even when it fails. This has
    to be given up by the caller in error handling. Otherwise memory
    allocated by kobject_init_and_add is never freed. Originally found
