In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register()

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:
