[PATCH] EDAC/sysfs: Fix calling kobject_put() without kobj initialization

From: Harshit Mogalapalli
Date: Tue Nov 28 2023 - 08:10:22 EST


In edac_pci_main_kobj_setup() when dev_root is NULL,
kobject_init_and_add() is not called.

if (err) { // err = -ENODEV;
edac_dbg(1, "Failed to register '.../edac/pci'\n");
goto kobject_init_and_add_fail; // call to kobject_put()
}

This will cause a runtime warning in kobject_put() if the above happens.
Warning:
"kobject: '%s' (%p): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called."

Fix the error handling to avoid the above possible situation.
