From: Chao Yu
Date: Mon Nov 16 2015 - 07:39:19 EST


f2fs_sb_info::s_kobj should be released in error path of fill_super,
otherwise it will lead to memory leak.

This bug was found by kmemleak:

dmesg:
kmemleak: 2 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffff8800838dc358 (size 8):
