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

mtd: Fix device name leak when register device failed in add_mtd_device()

There is a kmemleak when register device failed:
  unreferenced object 0xffff888101aab550 (size 8):

If register device failed, should call put_device() to give up the
reference.
