platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix error handling in hp_add_other_attributes()
'attr_name_kobj' is allocated using kzalloc, but on all the error paths it is not freed, hence we have a memory leak. Fix the error path before kobject_init_and_add() by adding kfree(). kobject_put() must be always called after passing the object to kobject_init_and_add(). Only the error path which is immediately next to kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_put() and not any other error path after it. Fix the error handling after kobject_init_and_add() by moving the kobject_put() into the goto label err_other_attr_init that is already used by all the error paths after kobject_init_and_add().
