In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: Fix memory leak in ubifs_sysfs_init()
When insmod ubifs.ko, a kmemleak reported as below:
unreferenced object 0xffff88817fb1a780 (size 8):
comm "insmod", pid 25265, jiffies 4295239702 (age 100.130s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):

When kset_register() failed, we should call kset_put to cleanup it.
