PCI: hotplug: Don't leak pci_slot on registration failure
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792377 commit 4ce64358 upstream. If addition of sysfs files fails on registration of a hotplug slot, the struct pci_slot as well as the entry in the slot_list is leaked. The issue has been present since the hotplug core was introduced in 2002: https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/a8a2069f432c Perhaps the idea was that even though sysfs addition fails, the slot should still be usable. But that's not how drivers use the interface, they abort probe if a non-zero value is returned.
