gfs2: Fix error path kobject memory leak
If a call to kobject_init_and_add() fails we must call kobject_put() otherwise we leak memory. Function gfs2_sys_fs_add always calls kobject_init_and_add() which always calls kobject_init(). It is safe to leave object destruction up to the kobject release function and never free it manually. Remove call to kfree() and always call kobject_put() in the error path. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
