[PATCH 6/6] kobj: Fix memory leak on error path of kset_create_and_add

Prev: [PATCH] forcedeth: Fix different hardware statistics versions.
Next: [PATCH 3/6] Driver core: Fix memory leak on class_register error path

This leak is the same as the bus path; kset->kobj.name is
set, but kset_register fails, thus nothing will ever call
kset_unregister and name will be leaked
