staging: gasket: Fix mapping refcnt leak when put attribute fails
gasket_sysfs_put_attr() invokes get_mapping(), which returns a reference of the specified gasket_sysfs_mapping object to "mapping" with increased refcnt. When gasket_sysfs_put_attr() returns, local variable "mapping" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one path of gasket_sysfs_put_attr(). When mapping attribute is unknown, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by get_mapping(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling put_mapping() when put attribute fails due to unknown attribute.
