xfs: Fix unreferenced object reported by kmemleak in xfs_sysfs_init()

kmemleak reported a sequence of memory leaks, and one of them indicated we
failed to free a pointer:
  comm "mount", pid 19610, jiffies 4297086464 (age 60.635s)
    hex dump (first 8 bytes):
      73 64 61 00 81 88 ff ff                          sda.....
    backtrace:

As mentioned in kobject_init_and_add() comment, if this function
returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up
the memory associated with the object. Apparently, xfs_sysfs_init()
does not follow such a requirement. When kobject_init_and_add()
returns an error, the space of kobj->kobject.name alloced by
kstrdup_const() is unfree, which will cause the above stack.

Fix it by adding kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add returns an
error.
