[PATCH] cxl: Fix kobject memleak

Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not
followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking
the kobject.

Fix it by adding a call to kobject_put() in the error path of
kobject_init_and_add().

Fixes: b087e6190ddc ("cxl: Export optional AFU configuration record in sysfs")
