What about add one more:
   just return if hstate_attr_group creating failed:

diff --git a/mm/hugetlb.c b/mm/hugetlb.c
index 0aee2f3ae15c..a67ef4b4eb3f 100644
--- a/mm/hugetlb.c
+++ b/mm/hugetlb.c
@@ -3845,6 +3845,7 @@ static int hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate(struct hstate *h, struct kobject *parent,
        if (retval) {
                kobject_put(hstate_kobjs[hi]);
                hstate_kobjs[hi] = NULL;
+               return retval;
        }

Once hstate_kobjs[hi] is set to NULL, hstate_demote_attr_group creating will
fail as well. Thanks.
