Revert "mm/slub: fix a memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()"
This reverts commit dde3c6b7. syzbot report a double-free bug. The following case can cause this bug. - mm/slab_common.c: create_cache(): if the __kmem_cache_create() fails, it does: out_free_cache: kmem_cache_free(kmem_cache, s); - but __kmem_cache_create() - at least for slub() - will have done sysfs_slab_add(s) -> sysfs_create_group() .. fails .. -> kobject_del(&s->kobj); .. which frees s ... We can't remove the kmem_cache_free() in create_cache(), because other error cases of __kmem_cache_create() do not free this. So, revert the commit dde3c6b7 ("mm/slub: fix a memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()") to fix this.
