Subject: [PATCH] efi/esrt: Fix reference count leak in esre_create_sysfs_entry.
Git-commit: 4ddf4739be6e375116c375f0a68bf3893ffcee21
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc3
References: git-fixes

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Previous
commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.
