Subject: [PATCH] class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register()
Git-commit: 8c3e8a6bdb5253b97ad532570f8b5db5f7a06407
Patch-mainline: v6.2-rc1
References: git-fixes

If class_add_groups() returns error, the 'cp->subsys' need be
unregister, and the 'cp' need be freed.

We can not call kset_unregister() here, because the 'cls' will
be freed in callback function class_release() and it's also
freed in caller's error path, it will cause double free.

So fix this by calling kobject_del() and kfree_const(name) to
cleanup kobject. Besides, call kfree() to free the 'cp'.

Fault injection test can trigger this:
