configfs_rmdir() invokes configfs_get_config_item(), which returns a reference of the specified config_item object to "parent_item" with increased refcnt. When configfs_rmdir() returns, local variable "parent_item" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of configfs_rmdir(). When down_write_killable() fails, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by configfs_get_config_item(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling config_item_put() when down_write_killable() fails.
